Acid reflux identified as a leading cause of constant phlegm and mucus: A malfunctioning valve at the top of the stomach can allow stomach acid to irritate the throat, leading to excessive mucus production.

Antacid medications may worsen acid reflux symptoms: Commonly prescribed medications neutralize stomach acid but do not address the underlying issue, potentially exacerbating the problem over time.

Postnasal drip linked to chronic sinus infections: Mucus dripping from the sinuses can result from infections caused by viruses, bacteria, or fungi, leading to persistent throat irritation and coughing.

Antibiotics can disrupt microbial balance: While antibiotics target harmful bacteria, they also eliminate beneficial bacteria, allowing fungi and yeast to proliferate, which can contribute to mucus buildup.

Dietary factors such as grains and dairy may trigger inflammation: Grains and dairy products can cause inflammatory responses in the body, leading to increased mucus production in the throat and sinuses.

Air𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧e allergies contribute to mucus production: Allergies to pollen, dust, or mold can cause the body to produce excess mucus as a defense mechanism against inhaled irritants.

Natural remedies recommended for mucus relief: Strategies include using apple cider vinegar to support digestion, sinus rinses with saline solutions, and dietary adjustments to eliminate potential allergens.
