A member asked:
I sneezed and got rid of some phlegm in my throat ( i have post nasal drip) and it was sort of clear but then again it had white stuff too what is it?

Expected: Post nasal drip will lead to accumulation of nasal secretions in upper airway and thus will lead to cough. You may or may not bring up white to tan secretions and they are expected from post nasal drip. If they bother you , you should consider appropriate treatment for post nasal drip.
