Hi, been getting thick and sticky phlegm, when you bring it up I choke due it sticking down my throat and not fully coming up, with this I have difficulty swallowing as well and had a barium swallowing which showed nothing, yet im still having difficulty swallowing.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Phlegm can also take on different textures, ranging from watery to thick and tacky. Thin and watery mucus is usually normal and indicates a healthy respiratory tract. During an infection, immune cells, germs, and debris build up in the phlegm, making it thicker, stickier, and cloudier. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
