Hello,
With the question “Is there a lot of phlegm in the throat, is it reflux esophagitis? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Pathology with phlegm when sleeping or sometimes with throat obstruction is also encountered in the situation of gastric reflux. However, to accurately diagnose GERD, you need to visit a doctor and perform exploratory measures such as gastroscopy to make an accurate diagnosis.
If you still have questions about a lot of phlegm in your throat, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
