Phelgm in throat: This phelgm in throat may be related to allergic rhinitis and post nasal drip since he has already seen ENT specialist it does not seem to be a structural problem like deviated septum, or polyps. Use saline nasal lavage two or three times a day, and the drainage will decrease. Antihistamine nasal spray and inhaled nasal sprays may be tried. Please see your primary physician.
