What Causes Thick Green Colored Phlegm In The Throat?

Ok, so... every single day I have to spit out very thick green phlegm, and this has been like this for a few years now. I constantly feel like something is stuck in my throat. Also, when I take a bite of food, typically the first bite, it feels like my throat rejects it. The food doesn t come back up, but I have to force it to go down by either drinking water or I have to keep swallowing until it passes. Please help! This is getting very annoying and I can t stand it!

You may be suffering from acute bacterial pharyngitis with or without Lower respiratory tract infection. Use water vapour inhalation and salt water gargling thrice a day for five days. Avoid cool drinks and chill water avoid smoking and alcohol intake. Use tablet Amoxiclav twice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
