Causes of Constant Phlegmy Throat or Throat Mucus

  • This animation goes over the many reasons for constant throat mucus production that lasts not just for days, but months or even years. Such phlegm production often triggers throat clearing, cough, or just plain hocking up and spitting. Often this issue is incorrectly blamed on post-nasal drainage which only accounts for a small percentage of patients. There are 5 main diagnostic groupings described:
    - Esophagus (0:50)
    - Nose (1:43)
    - Foods (2:12)
    - Autoimmune (2:34)
    - Neuropathy (2:54).

      Fauquier ENT, I believe I've discovered something New. Why am I writing to you, I need your help. I know what's creating this stuff and it's not known by Entomologists, Biologists, nor veterinarians. I can prove these things are entering into our mouths and noses. This will link to other diseases such as respiratory and others. Let me know if you can, or, would like to take a look at what I've discovered. I can explain how I figured it all out. Thanks Docgreen.

      @@rachellicee2380 these things are not parasites. They get big, I’ve done enough research to know these things are not known by Entomologists, Biologists, and or Veterinarians. While researching I came across pics of things found in the nasal passages. They don’t know what causes or creates these things. I know what does, if I’m right, I knows these things can create a liquid, that liquid can and does turn into Gel like substance. Each one starts out with a black speck in it. They create some kind of cocoon looking things, and inside the cocoon is something that appears dark colored, they eat fabric flesh and I’ve found these things in colon cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, nose cancer on the outside makes sense along with skin cancer. Im almost positive that these things are what’s creating cancer. All cancers except man made cancers.

    I got rid of my constant phlegmy throat by chewing my food until it was liquid and then swallowed little by little. I was basically eating quickly and swallowing food whole. It caused stress on my digestive system. Now I eat way slower and chew food until liquid. My throat has been clear for months.

    Hi I think the answer to this problem is a lot more simple than we think. I’ve had this problem for years but 8 weeks ago I started intermittent fasting, cutting out full cream milk , bread, SUGAR, fizzy drinks. Grains , after 8 weeks my plegmy throat has virtually disappeared. I think it’s mainly a dairy caused problem. This is my experience,which is easier to try rather than all the medical tests.

I will try to find out if grains cause my problem too. I eat a lot of bread. Probably had phlegm in my throat for the last ten years. Glad to see that people are figuring out the reason.

    I cannot tell you what hope it gives me to stumble across your video today! All this info in one place is so valuable. I’ve been dealing with this miserable problem for about 6 years I think (I’ve lost count it’s been so long). I’ve seen all the specialists you mention in the video (but have not had all the testing, which I don’t know why they didn’t do that) and I feel like I’ve tried everything. I have figured out myself that I have MANY different issues going on that complicate this for me, plus a serious and severe viral illness that hit me two years in a row that kicked it all off (both times the illness hit were in the Spring, in 2015 and 2016, and for a full 4 weeks each time).
    I still have hope I’ll figure this out and after watching this video, I’m even more encouraged to keep going until I find what works for me. Thank you!

      You have to pay attention to what makes it worse. I noticed that mine got worse when I ate more sugary foods and drank milk. So my heart doctor told me to go on a strict protein diet for three days and then start adding in foods and see what aggravate my condition. I might still have other things to avoid but I know sugar and milk for sure. I can't tell you how great it feels when I don't have phlegm in my throat all of the time and when I do I can cough it out now where I couldn't before.

    I started a keto diet a year ago eliminating sugar, grains and dairy for various reasons. The 'gagging' mucous in my throat was eliminated almost immediately. I have recently reintroduced a very minimal amount of grain ie carbohydrate into my 2 meals a day plan and climb the nearby hill regularly.... this keeps the small amount of mucous under control. My realisation is that the mucous production is caused largely by the carbohydrate in grains and possibly a lactose intolerance due to the numerous chemicals being sprayed onto soil and plants.

      Hanna, have you been getting migraines, or are you still dealing with the same symptoms? If so, please, please, please read my posts by docgreen. This stuff is being missed, some doctors are not listening to the patient. I can prove what I'm saying. I need some help with the ENT's, getting one to sit down and look at what I've discovered. I'm betting that if I'm right there's a lot of us having the same type symptoms being blown off. If you get this, please write back. I can ask some questions about symptoms, and show you some things that people are ignoring. Probably because they're taking meds. I thought for over 5 years it was the pain meds causing all these things. For instance, when you cough stuff up, or gag, is it always early morning or does it start about 4:30pm and stop around 4:30am? Have you been diagnosed for any respiratory issues since you started noticing stuff? Do you throw up ever early mornings, and no, I'm not talking about morning sickness with pregnant women. Do you experience what we call brain fog? Something else to think about, does your nose ever itch really bad? Has anyone ever diagnosed you with Asthma? Have you notice white flakes or black specks in your nose. I won't go into much more detail, but think about when you have to blow your nose, or have a nose that a lot of liquid comes out? Something else I'd like to ask, do you live in a place that has carpeting in. If so, how old is the carpeting or when's the last time it was new and installed? I'm betting, that a lot of these things will ring true. Something else, inner ear infections, or eye problems? Last one I'll ask for now, do you ever get like a stinging sensation in or around the lower legs and feet, if so please write me back.

    I deal with sinus issues (I have a deviated septum), allergies and food sensitivities. I have noticed that if I stop eating by 8pm and fast for 14 hours till the next morning, while wearing a nose appliance to prevent snoring, my symptoms are much reduced. I also make sure to use a Flonase spray before bed. For me it's worse after eating some foods and when I would wake up from snoring. For me the key is to fix the snoring to reduce the issue (along with allergy maintenance). Traditional Teas - Throat Coat provides temporary relief

    It's been hard for me. I am suffering with this for years now. I thought I had TB, but the tests are always negative. It's stopping from doing everything to achieve my dreams. I am a graduate of professional education and a board passer, so I am supposed to be a teacher now. However, going to work and doing stressful and heavy things always cause me to have severe cough for months. It's stressing me out, especially when I'm at work, my colleagues might be discusted and will keep distance at me. Imagine me teaching in front of the children while coughing nonstop. Now I'm at home having no work at all, because I'm afraid that this might be communicable, and also it makes me so uncomfortable. It seems no hope of healing. I wish I could meet some specialist who will help me overcome this (I don't even know what my illness is). If only my family is rich, I would do everything just to get proper medication. My family is poor, I'm the 3rd daughter but I am the only one who was able to finish my study. I still have 4 younger siblings. I feel so useless and worthless because I am unable to support them due to this condition. Help me. 😭

It runs down from my sinuses, down the back of my throat to my upper chest during the night and I wake up either with a dry cough (which fast becomes a phlegm cough). Every time I cough and clear it, it comes back right away. The phlegm is thick but clear so not an infection. I do keep clearing my throat especially if I talk a lot.
    The Dr has prescribed a nasal spray that’s used for hay fever plus an anti gastric pill as I suffer from acid reflux. Both have helped a lot.

    Another reason for drainage in the throat is due to dental infection from a tooth on the upper set. If it penetrates into the nasal cavity the mucus is usually thinner than with sinus infection and has more odor. The danger, if allowed to remain, is due to it's location in proximity to the brain. No one wants a brain infection which is difficult to heal.

This treatment is essential in keeping my asthma at bay but it has caused a daily battle against an unrelenting, thick mucous that has robbed me of my voice as well as causing me a great deal of discomfort.

      Hanna, have you been getting migraines, or are you still dealing with the same symptoms? If so, please, please, please read my posts by docgreen. This stuff is being missed, some doctors are not listening to the patient. I can prove what I'm saying. I need some help with the ENT's, getting one to sit down and look at what I've discovered. I'm betting that if I'm right there's a lot of us having the same type symptoms being blown off. If you get this, please write back. I can ask some questions about symptoms, and show you some things that people are ignoring. Probably because they're taking meds. I thought for over 5 years it was the pain meds causing all these things. For instance, when you cough stuff up, or gag, is it always early morning or does it start about 4:30pm and stop around 4:30am? Have you been diagnosed for any respiratory issues since you started noticing stuff? Do you throw up ever early mornings, and no, I'm not talking about morning sickness with pregnant women. Do you experience what we call brain fog? Something else to think about, does your nose ever itch really bad? Has anyone ever diagnosed you with Asthma? Have you notice white flakes or black specks in your nose. I won't go into much more detail, but think about when you have to blow your nose, or have a nose that a lot of liquid comes out? Something else I'd like to ask, do you live in a place that has carpeting in. If so, how old is the carpeting or when's the last time it was new and installed? I'm betting, that a lot of these things will ring true. Something else, inner ear infections, or eye problems? Last one I'll ask for now, do you ever get like a stinging sensation in or around the lower legs and feet, if so please write me back.

      Yes, it's great that these doctors place you on steroid based inhalers and leave it up to YOU the patient to figure out WHY you have a new set of problems such as throat flem and a lowered immune system which makes getting pneumonia more likley. You must have gone to the same doctor I did who shrugged his shoulders at me when I complained about my increased pneumonia. All he said was, "Well, what are you going to do. Nothing is perfect."
      I fired him then threw away the steroid treatments, went back to my rescue inhaler which I've used without issues for 60 years and then focused on getting my immune system back in shape. (I was having pneumonia several times a year) It's my conclusion that the inhaled steroid almost killed me by dangeriously lowering my immune system. My last pneumonia 4 years ago was severe. Nothing since then.
      I learned that MOST of my asthma issues were food related. Also, for me, coffee, chocolate and bromalean supplements help a lot. I also inhale organic eucalyptus drops and even wet the inside of my nose with them throughout the day. It clears the sinuses pretty darn quick and reduces the heavy flem in my throat. It's the thick mucus that gets into my chest leading to asthma, in my opinion.
      NONE of these treatments are a "cure all" for asthma but then, NONE of these doctors have a cure all either and their prescribed meds cause too many side effects that are worse than the asthma itself. But the asthma industry is a lucrative industry to get into, they collect millions of dollars of revenue each year, while offering no new more effective treatments that are safe.
      My advice it to embrace and work with mother nature to identify triggers and try natural based remedies. There are some doctors online who focus specifically on natural based remedies. Watch their video's! For me, such remedies reduced my asthma by 50% thus reducing the need for my rescue inhalor.
      I'm generally not happy with the gready modern medicine system we have and their bias toward only laboratory based remedies that cause more problems then they supposedly fix. I'm not happy with doctors who don't spell out the HUGE risks of the chemical based treatments they prescribe. Treatments that reduce your immune system making you more susceptable to pneumonia and possible death is unexceptable! But doctors are doing this every day! The entire health industry needs a major overhaul on ethics and we need more studies on natural based remedies, but sadly it won't happen in my lifetime. I feel your frustration!!!

      @@RickPaquin yes, you are so correct. Keep in mind, I’m still trying to understand things, I believe there may be a link to the breakdown of carpet with some of these things.
      If I’m right and the thing I discovered eats the carpet fibers, ends up in our our respiratory tract hasn’t ever been studied, there may be a link to asthma, Cystic Fibrosis. I know for a fact these things eat cotton and flesh. I can show it, and prove it now. You walk into a dermatologist, and they think we’re crazy.
      I’m not crazy, what’s being missed is that whatever these things are love the dark. I’m questioning all these specialists that see patients during the day. If they think there’s nothing that moves around at night, they’re wrong. Think about CPAP machine’s used at night, if I’m right the breathing and the syncopal breathing may be caused by these things. See it’s not just that I’ve found these things in my phlegm and the stuff I throw up. Always early am before dark, this is a question that should be asked to everyone. Because we’re told it’s just gastric juices and enzymes from the stomach to break down food. I’m betting I have questions if asked, will she’d light on the real causes of these things. I’m not saying this because I don’t know, I’m saying all these things because I know what’s creating these symptoms and signs, and it’s not our body doing or making these symptoms and things our bodies are doing. It’s 2ndary effects caused my something that’s invaded our body that hates light. These are real things, they really are there! Think about CPAP, is it the fact it’s help us breathe, or is it possible the mask is helping keep these things out of our nose and mouths and respiratory tract? I can show you how these things, when you look at images from doctors, I can show you they’re tied together. Impetigo, things found in the nasal passages, stuff found in phlegm, even phlegm that people throw up, and cough up. I bet if you ask people, within the phlegm they’ll find black specks, things that look like bubbles, but they’re not bubbles, they’re organisms that make phlegm look there’s lots of bubbles. I wish you could see what I can prove. It’s crazy, for instance, I can show you that these same things link to flesh eating bacteria, MRSA, and Necrotizing Fascitis. This is how it all started for me. I woke up with pain in my left shoulder. It felt like someone used a baseball bat on my shoulder. What time did this happen 3:30am. I figured out later that whatever these things are, they need to breathe. I’m not just saying this, I’ve been taking pics and samples of everything since that morning. I can show what’s being missed. Think about this, could it be possible that diabetic ulcers and bed sores are being created by these same things. How do you diagnose diabetic ulcers? It’s the stadium affect, it starts with a small hole and keeps getting bigger, eventually there’s no flesh and it’s a gaping hole. You need to see some off my pics of these same things on my thumb. I can show you what’s being missed. Thank you.

I am 68 now and have suffered the annoying sensation of something stuck in my throat (phlegm) which I try to cough up. Had I been aware of this complication, I wouldn't have had the procedure. Throat infections come and go and are treatable but this is annoying sensation is ongoing and irritating.

  • @JACKDAWFISH

    Note to viewers: Eosinophilic esophagitis is often caused by food allergies such as our friend gluten (my trigger.) The white blood cells immediately mass in the esophagus when the body detects an allergen and tries to kill it by releasing toxins that result in inflammation/irritation of the throat and phlegm forms to protect the eshphagus. It only take me 2 swallows of something containing gluten to trigger a reaction. By the 2nd swallow I start coughing and phlegm formation. Since I live with this (took me a long time to figure it out - doctors didn't), I believe it's one of the more common causes. Just a tip.

    Sounds like I tick a few of these boxes. I constantly cough and sputter when phlegm hits this one spot in the back of my throat. Sometimes, it gets bad to the point where I feel like I'm going to vomit. This is especially problematic when a coughing fit happens while I'm out in public, and I'm trying desperately to clear my throat without the worst-case scenario happens. I'm also blowing my nose and getting congested all the time, which prompts me to go through boxes of tissues and bottles of Afrin nasal spray like there's no tomorrow.

After being on Zyrtec and flonaise daily for weeks, it finally got much much better. Before I would only take Zyrtec if I had a headache due to changing seasons etc. but it’s meant to be taken daily. I do want another option though as I don’t like taking meds year round, but I also like breathing out of my nose when I’m sleeping!

    I had a chesty, phlegmy cough for NINE YEARS - but I also have asthma. So every time I went to the doctor about it, they assumed it was related to my asthma; I had my inhalers switched several times, was put on antihistamine tablets, put on nasal sprays, taken off nasal sprays... it was only after I switched to a private doctor and they did a full barrage of tests that they discovered I had a 5cm hiatus hernia, which was causing persistent oesophagitis. I now have to have surgery at some point to repair the hernia. (They tried to do a manometry on me at one stage, as part of determining the nature of the hernia, but they couldn't get the tube down my nasal passages, so it's possible i may also have the second problem with my nose as well. I wonder if that could be related to the presecribed nasal sprays that I didn't really need for years?)

  • @chozen_1309

    Guess I should share what I am dealing with and how I have been trying to “cure” it . Try and keep this short - prob 2 1/2 -3 years ago it started. Didn’t think much of it until it became more and more normal and to the point of almost panic attacks for fear of choking (like I have read below) I have gotten better to control that but I still from time to time have to tell myself to chill out mid fit. Worse in the morning but can be sporadic and changes from day to day (which is the frustrating part) lump or phlegm ball feeling in back of throat, try and cough it up, I’m lucky if something comes up but normally I just fight it Until I give in or try and think of something else to take my mind off of it . Definitely seems worse in the prone position but doesn’t always matter, it just comes when it wants!
    Used to smoke cigs and weed for 12 years or so, weed longer, quit cigs before weed but both eventually- didn’t help anyway! Learned A-LOT about diet and it’s importance over the last 3 years as well (sadly just now) but I have completely been dairy and meat free for right around 2 years- that was a decision that has helped my body and mind in many many ways INCLUDING ACID REFLUX , that was destroying my life since a young age but has completely disappeared since cutting out animal products, pinpointed it to meat to be exact but anyway- it’s not acid reflux and with this diet change I have drank more water than I ever have. My skin has much improved and I pee clear more than not. I highly doubt it is because of lack of hydration. Ok so it’s been a few years and I’m getting tired of this constant battle and shitty routine I go through (glad I am not alone but this still sucks) I finally hit up my GP (normal doc) and this is a doc I can say I trust and really appreciate everything she has to say and I have had many doctors in my life due to a motor vehicle accident I was in when I was 18 (that’s for another thread). Let’s just say she is literally the only doc I have ever connected with. So she runs the allergy test on me via blood work and we get the results back in a few days or week, whatever it was. Turns out I am allergic to Dust & Dust Mites!!! I was never allergic to anything growing up so that was a sad shocker but Yaaaay, I most likely have found the solution!?!? 3 different allergy meds , nasal spray and saline spray plus an inhaler later and stillll nothing!!! Now I am just getting irritated lol !! Im also over here blaming covid because nothing else makes sense , which I don’t think have had and technically this sprung up the year before sooo , Who’s to say. I don’t really think it is covid but something has gotta make sense of it! Especially now that I know I am NOT alone! As Creepy as our listening devices are or cell phones we call them can be , as I am scrolling through YT . I see this channel and the vid pops right up outta nowhere on my feed! I was hesitant to click it because I am fearful I am slowly dying even though this is by far the healthiest I have been since middle school. This vid may have some of the answers and it’s just nice to see some different perspectives.. I am still working with my GP but only see her every few months. Because of the years and years of acid reflux I dealt with , I was told that if it continued I would eventually burn a hole in my esophagus and they way I felt I believed it! That is what really led to me to pinpoint my acid problem. After the acid went away this problem did not occur right away but sometime soon after . The other thing I am now wondering is - around this same time thi started I had some very very bad dental work done . Went to get my wisdom teeth removed. The dentist totally left some bone fragments in my jaw and severed a nerve which led me to have lock jaw for over a month, excruciating pain and headaches like I have never dealt with and now to this day I still have limited feeling up front but basically no feeling on my back/lower jaw (left side) . So I am wondering if between my jacked up acid throat and whatever he did to me it is a combination of the last part of this video. I don’t spit up anything but clear phlegm and it is only a tad thicker than normal , so it would make sense to some extent. I don’t deal with and nasal drip and it is never a different color. I will continue to try and figure this out and I really appreciate everyone’s input and life experience with this. Hot tea of all sorts with honey (only “animal product I currently ingest”) and lemon are very satisfying but not ideal on the go and it definitely comes back!
    I saw a comment about Mullein leaf or tea in here somewhere and while it may or may not work, after some research and other positive reviews of it, I have ordered some and I will also be seeing if any of my local stores carry it . it sounds promising.
    I wish everyone on this journey the absolute best and keep fighting and just remember to tell yourself to breathe!

    I've had this for years. My daughter was always complaining about my constant throat clearing and when I went to bed, the post nasal drip would keep me from falling asleep. Mine is due to allergies. I take Zyrtec and Benadryl at night and when I need it, I take a supplement called Mullein. It will stop it cold in a minute or so and clears out my lungs completely.

      My problem exactly. I'm on antihystamine all the time. Allegra. I supplement with ibuprofen to sleep.
      My gp said it's allergies. He sent me to an ear nose throat specialist. It took six months to see him..partially on the phone. had a cursory look, said yes, your sinuses are inflamed and gave me nose spray and cleaning stuff. No effect, actually worse. Then he gave a prescription nose spray. That all took about five months.
      No effect. Then he sent me to an allergist. There was a two year wait to get to see her. I'm about to talk to her after some bloodwork she ordered.
      In the meantime, I went to naturopath specializing in allergies. He was helpful. Got me on Montelukast and another spray to treat the other possible cause besides allergies..forgot the name, but it is the vid. That had very little effect if any.
      He tested for mould and dust mites, and gave some drops. My stomach rebelled. Instant pain. He diluted the drop solution and it was bearable.
      Meanwhile, I wait and hork.

    I have had a big problem with this thing, for years, and found something that helped. I realized I was a mouth breather That is, I wasn't using my nose to breathe, I was doing almost all my breathing through my mouth. Breathing through the nose is natural, and will cause the sinuses to drain naturally. Breathing through the mouth effectively short-circuits the natural respiratory process of sinus draining and the result is that mucus backs up in the throat.
    If you have this annoying mucus in the throat problem, try shutting your lips together and forcing yourself to breathe steadily and slowly through your nose 25x You may find what I found: First, that you were a mouth breather without being aware of it. Second, with even a short time of practicing just breathing through your nose, you'll feel your sinuses naturally clearing themselves When a build-up of mucus occurs you can simply swallow what's there without having to strain to clear your throat. In any case, the problem will be far less than it was.
    Final note: I've been to the doctors about the problem (twice) and have tried all kinds of remedies for a problem that was as chronic as most people in this form. I'm not claiming to be an expert or to have a solution for everyone, but I"m just saying what worked for me. In any case, I'm not one of these people who typically haunt forums like this who have no personal experience with the specific health problem but who give out free advice.

    My husband & I are in our 70's, have lived in the oil fields of west Texas all our lives. Other than usual problems with colds, some sinus & allergy problems, we have not had a great deal of sickness. Ten years ago we moved to a nearby small town to retire, bought a new home & settled in. The fracking boom was just hitting the area, lots of traffic & activity, the worst of which was a giant truck stop which was built right behind our neighborhood, with only their 8ft fence & an alley between our property & the service station, with parking for oil field trucks of all types abutting our alleyway. These monsters run constantly while parked, drivers sleeping in the cabovers. The kinds of pollution exceeds the exhaust, as there are many types of chemicals & other products used in the production of oil by fracking; also many of these trucks have arrived from far away & share pollens, etc. which we are not accustomed to inhaling. Anyhow, the upshot of all this is a real exacerbation of allergies, especially nasal & throat. Constant mucus production in the nose & throat, my head stops up every evening so we both must take decongestants that have to be signed for at the drugstore, etc. Y'all might want to check out your environment for pollution sources that are not necessary from mother nature. We're stuck with our "next-door" problem, but at least we know what causes it....

    I take one 4hr. Walgreen Mucus Relief (400mgGuaifenesin) expectorant when I start feeling this build -up in the back of my throat, and keep doing the clearing the throat thing, and I’m good the rest of the day!

    For me it's a morning thing. Right after i wake. Have to clear it for about an hour. I was exposed to a lot of second hand cigarette as a child because both my parents smoked. My mom is 78 and she clears her throat 24/7 becsuse she has COPD now from smoking. I haven't been diagnosed with COPD yet at 46 but i could be going down that road considering i have to clear my throat every day in the a.m.
    I've recently started boiling ginger. I pour it warm in a cup. Add a tablespoon of raw honey, a tablespoon of cinnamon, and some lemon juice. This has helped reduce my problem. These ingredients literally work to dissolve excess mucus. Drink it at least 3 times per week but if you can do it drink it daily.

    I was so offended at the age of 19 my mother asked me if I smoke. I constantly have to clear my throat. It gas gotten better now that I'm older. I do notice it more often if I am in a cold room due to the A/C being on or if it is morning time. When I worked in a more modern building and had a desk under A/C vents I would have bad coughing spells. I suffered from a lot of sore throats throughout the years even as a child. I recently had a sore throat this past Fall. I just knew I had Strep. Turn out it was not the case but i did receive a shot in the hip.🤷‍♀️

    I've had thick mucus that gets worse sometimes always on the left side of my nose. It feels like it's always draining and if it gets bad enough will give me panic attacks cuz it feels like I may choke or could never ease the discomfort. I only get brief periods of time or months if I'm lucky where it goes away.

    I have an important tip for all people in this section. Clearing the throat by coughing is a highly invasive and wrong method. It causes a wound on the vocal cords, and the body secrets more mucus to cover that wound as a natural ointment. If you cough again you will end up having more and more mucus, which turns to phlegm as it thickens. So if the phlegm in your throat is too much so that can't manage to talk through it, and your voice is sounding too quavered to sustain, then clear your throat by the good old "AhrrmArrm, AhrrmAhrrm" kind of method.(force a blast of air through restricted vocal cords with pauses in the middle.) Increase the force of the air and lengthen the duration of the "AhhmArrrrr....m, AhrrmAhrrm" (the point at which I have shown dotted line. Also you can do a continuous triple or quadruple clearing if required like:(AhrrmAhr....rm, AhrrmAhrr...m,AhrrmAhrrm) If clogging is too much. Sometimes, it may require multiple attempts, but it gets the work done without long term aggravation. Sometimes first few attempts may aggravate the quaver in your voice. But ultimately it's much much better for your healt compared to coughing. Coughing causes extensive hair loss as the phlegm in your lungs gets absorbed in your blood and then erupts on your scalp as oily dandruff. It causes asthama as your vocal cords loose thier natural elasticity. It may make your voice hoarse permenently. It also causes hernia. So quit the coughing habit as soon as possible.
