A member asked:
17 yr old male, minor throat tightness, with some phlegm. occasional coughing better after eating. caused by pollen or what else? is it a concern?

Reflux: The only thought I have is that you have a reflux problem causing irritation at your throat and coughing. The improvement immediately after eating is due to the acid being diluted or neutralized by the food you have consumed. Does improvement occur also when drinking coffee, tea, or cola?
