A member asked:
I am having a problem that i have to spit out thick white phlegm only for the past 6 months without any cough. what could be the reason ?

Postnasal drip: You may have postnasal drip. Allergy medication, nasal spray such as prescription Flonase (with a little steriod) may clear this out. Have a provider check out your through, nose, ears, lungs, before a diagnosis can be made. But it may be as simple as allergic rhinitis.
