Hacking up thick phlegm every morning

But does anyone think it might be to do with the weather? For example going to a hot climate like Spain, and not experiencing any mucus/sinus issues there.

Or maybe it's to do with the humidity?

I have suffered with these symptoms for many years with dripping nose, hoarse voice and constantly clearing my throat before I speak. I have taken steroid nose sprays, over the counter products, sniffing salt water which helps but not pleasant. I recently asked AI what might cause the problem and the answer was Silent Reflux. Have found some information on the NHS site and plucking up courage to see my GP, who will, no doubt, be dismissive if I reveal my source, as has happened before, refusing to treat me for PMR, insisting that I had Long Covid.

That's what mine turned out to be. The joys of an endoscopy showed that. Good luck. Hope you can get it sorted.

I confused coughing up thick phlegm with a cold but it turned out to be a digestive problem. If it's being going on a while, time to see the GP.

Can I ask if you are a smoker/vaper. If so I would get a GP opinion soon - well if your are not a smoker as well. I hope this clears up soon. Physio is also very helpful.

Sounds like what my DH has had for years, do you have probs with your sinuses or rhinitis?
At night you get ‘nose drip’ that collects in your throat, it is gross and causes my DH to cough up for ages.
My DH uses a seawater nose spray, I think is Sterimar. But have to say it doesn’t help that much.
Would try to see your GP.
