Ive had loss of voice, chronic cough, and now always clearing phlegm from my throat. what could be the issue? should i get my throat looked at or lungs? cough been happening for 2 months, voice change 2 months, phlegm 3 weeks?

Since your phlegm appears to becoming from your throat & not lower down from the trachea or bronchial tubes, I think it's more likely from postnasal drip, sinuses or even reflux. I favor your consulting an ENT specialist for diagnosis & treatment. A chest x-ray may also be ordered. A referral to a pulmonologist can be arranged if deemed advisable..

This might be a strange question, but can the air used for clearing your throat bring up phlegm from the lungs? No cough, but on occasion have found blood in sputum after clearing throat. Also suffer from PN drip/allergies/asthma. Worried about NSCLC
