Persistent phlegm which is thick in consistency scanty in amount after lots of effort?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Early: It sounds like the phlegm is building up in amount but is very thick. Need to loosen the phlegm but drinking lots of fluids and avoiding foods that increase phlegm, whole milk for example. Could be early infection to allergies. If it stays clear and no fever or chills, probably allergy. If fever, color change , sore throat, = infection. Either way, start with increased fluids, zinc, and vit c.
