Once some people feel that there is phlegm in their throat, they will cough involuntarily throughout the day, and try every means to spit out the phlegm in their throat. The itching sensation in the throat will also be more severe. What are the specific reasons for this phenomenon? The editor has collected some reasons, of course, we still need to analyze them, let's take a look below. Sputum is a normal secretion of the human body. Its main components are mucus secreted by epithelial cells of the human respiratory tract (mainly trachea), dust carried by the air, solid inhalable particles, etc. Also, the respiratory tract is constantly moving to push phlegm into the mouth. Under normal circumstances, the human body produces very little phlegm, which usually mixes with food into the digestive tract or is swallowed by the body's immune system. Under special circumstances (coughing, respiratory tract infection, etc.), the amount of sputum increases and can be discharged from the mouth (in fact, it is recommended to discharge the sputum). Coughing up phlegm is not a reflex, so every morning when you wake up, the phlegm you produce over the past eight hours or so is actually a accumulation, so it is relatively large. In addition, diseases such as chronic pharyngitis can stimulate an increase in sputum volume and cause a foreign body sensation in the throat, which is not necessarily sputum. First, the physique is weak and the vital energy is insufficient. Due to the spleen's insufficiency, water and moisture can remain and condense into phlegm. Second, the spleen and stomach are weak, and stagnation of water can damage the spleen and stomach; or eating too much raw food, melons and fruits can damage the middle yang; or drinking too much water due to fever and inadequate spleen function can cause water and moisture to retain and gather into phlegm. In addition, eating too much fatty and sweet food can cause turbid air to accumulate in the stomach, generate dampness and heat, and also turn into turbid phlegm. Third, if exogenous infection is not treated properly, or if a person is weak and suffers from exogenous infection repeatedly, the lung qi will be damaged and unable to transport fluid to the four parts of the body and regulate the water channels to transport it to the bladder, causing the fluid to retain and turn into phlegm. The phlegm is stored in the lungs, the lung qi is not well affected, and the phlegm surges into the airways, which will inevitably lead to coughing and excessive phlegm. The above are several reasons for excessive phlegm in the throat introduced by the editor, so targeted treatment can be given. So what aspects should be paid attention to when facing this problem? The most important thing is to go to the hospital for examination immediately, otherwise it is easy to cause oral diseases or affect other organs. The editor hopes that everyone needs to pay attention to their personal health, as good health is a person’s capital. |
