Why have i been getting phlegm in my throat for the last couple of wks, i dont have a fever or a cold, and how do i get rid of it?im seeing my doctor in a couple of wks and wondered what to do in the meantime and what i can take over the counter?

Sometimes congestion can be from an allergy, if you’re not sick in any other way. Perhaps you have been exposed to a new environment, pet, food, or other substance. Nasal saline spray may help that type of congestion; sometimes an over the counter allergy nose spray or a non-sedating antihistamine such as Claritin (loratadine) may help. It’s good that you are seeing your doctor to get checked.
