Phlegm In Throat

Updated

Every single day I wake up and spend about 5 minutes hacking up thick, yellow mucus. It is so thick it keeps me from swallowing and even blowing my nose. I have been to 3 Odontologists and no one has been able to help me. I have tried a number of nasal spays and prescription medications with no success. In contrast my nose runs excessively to the extent that I blow my nose on paper towels instead of tissues. Mucinex doesn't help either. I am desperate for some relief. Can someone help me?

Have you tried an ENT, or an allergist/immunologist?

It may not be directly related to your teeth, or an abnormality there. Allergies can cause the same type of symptoms and that would be outside the realm of an Odontologist.

Additional question, do you smoke?

No, I don't smoke. I have had allergy tests 3 times in my life and the last time I tested negative for everything except cockroaches. And, I've been diagnosed as having allergic rhinitis. I've never heard of an Immunologist but I'm willing to look into it. Thanks a bunch
