Ear-Nose and Throat Doctor (ENT) Questions Mucus

What's the best way to get rid of phlegm?

Every morning I wake up with phlegm in my throat. It's not really because I'm sick since I'm not feeling any congestion, or anything like that. Normally, I spit it out, but there has to be a way to get rid of it completely so I don't have to spit it out every time. Are there any home remedies that can help with this?

Probably mouth breathing at sleep. Drink at least two quarts of clear fluids per day. Don't smoke, limit alcohol intake. many medications can cause drying of mouth. Look at labels. Check room temperature and humidity. No throat clearing. This stimulates throat glands to secrete more. Limit dairy intake. Thickens secretions
