When Persistent Throat Mucus Signals a Deeper Issue
If you experience constant phlegm or mucus in your throat, it’s important to consider that this symptom might indicate underlying health conditions that require targeted treatment. One of the most frequently overlooked causes is silent acid reflux, medically known as gastrolaryngeal reflux disease (GLR). Unlike classic acid reflux, this form often occurs without heartburn but results in excess mucus production as your body attempts to protect your throat from stomach acid that escapes into the esophagus.
