I always feel that there is something in my throat, and when I cough it up, it is phlegm. What's going on here?

There is inflammation, so it is recommended to take some antibiotics.

Sputum is the garbage of the respiratory tract, which contains mucus secreted by ourselves, dust, smoke, bacteria and viruses inhaled into the lungs, as well as exfoliated cells, necrotic tissues, blood cells and purulent substances in the respiratory tract and lungs.

Studies by bacterial scientists have proved that hundreds of millions of bacteria can survive in one mouthful of sputum, including dozens of pathogenic bacteria that easily make people sick. In addition, these bacteria survive in sputum for a long time, even months.

What is even more frightening is that once the sputum spit on the ground is dried, the bacteria inside will stick to the dust and float into the air, or be inhaled by us, or spread in all directions with the airflow!

Generally speaking, spitting is a bad habit, but for a few people, it is an obvious symptom response.

People who spit are mainly patients with respiratory diseases, mostly elderly people and smokers. If we can observe it carefully, we can judge what disease the spitter is suffering from from the color and concentration of sputum only with the naked eye. This kind of experience and common sense can help us diagnose ourselves and our families, which is conducive to timely treatment of patients.
