drugs for excessive phlegm in the throat?

Question: am really tired of this problem. the phlegm hangs there in the throat and it takes a lot of energy sapping effort to try to clear it. also anytime i eat it gets released and i have to excuse myself to throw it out. sometimes because of loss of energy after the effort i lose my appetite.

Answers:
There's an over the counter medication you can take that helps to thin the mucous membranes throughout the entire body, and helps to make coughing that unplesant stuff up, a bit less of a challenge.

This medication is called Guaifenesin. You can buy it in the pharmacy section of your local grocery store under the brand name "Mucinex." It's about $10.00 for about 30 tablets -- (two tablets twice daily) or you can order it from http://www.prohealth.com (that's where I order mine) for 100 tabs of 200mg guaifenesin for about 13.00.

an increase in your water intake may also help to clear that stuff up, a bit.

Take a shot of lemon juice in the morning every morning. That helped my husband when he had that problem.

Some of the reasons for excessive phlegm in the throat are food allergies, throat infections, sinus or lung problems.

Medicated Lozenges for sore throats are generally taken as a temporary source of relief.

It is always better to consult a doctor / registered medical practitioner to root out the problem.
