Sputum in throat since 1 year how to clear it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sputum: Sputum for that long should really be evaluated. It's less likely to be an infection since it has been persistent for so long. Still could be allergies, but it could also be reflux. Could be a number of other disorders, so best to get this checked out. You should really see your doctor and get checked out.
