I've been having phlegm issues for the past few months but i have not been sick.no cold or cough, just phlegm. what is the issue?

Drainage: Phlegm is a general term for drainage in your throat. Often it is from your nose or sinuses draining into your throat but can also be refluxed from your food pipe or lungs. Allergic rhinitis is probably the most common cause
