A member asked:
What could be the cause of chronic(1 year) persistent minimal sputum in the throat that couldn't be coughed out in a 25 year old ? this sputum is only cleared by forceful cough followed by swallowing. no risk factors -smoking, alcohol, drug, disease?

Gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, can cause this sensation as well as cough. Have the person seen by a doctor because this can be treated by medication. Staying upright for at least 30 minutes after eating is also helpful. A doctor can explore other causes of these symptoms as well so see a doctor ASAP! Good luck!
