Title: Menopausal phlegm
Post by: Donnadoobie on April 29, 2020, 06:40:12 PM

When googling today I came across this.  May be of interest to the members who I know have had experience of nasal, and throaty issues.

Interestingly, before I had any other symptoms 2 years ago, I had a constantly crusty ( sorry) dry nose and was always putting vaseline inside.  I have had a phlegmy sore throat for the past 3 months

Seems this is one symptom that is not mentioned, even by doctors.

That was really interesting,the last year or so,inside my nose has been sore off and on,I get these sores,that take ages to heal but I'm forever blowing my nose as it runs constantly,especially this time of year,so I was putting these blister type sores down to that. I have order a cream called neosporin which is supposed to be good for this type of thing.
Anyway thank you for that x

I get this on a regular basis. It never seems to go away. I find first thing in the morning is the worst time for the phlegm

I have a continual cough due to reflux which is no problem over night

Those sores can be relieved by Savlon inside the nostrils, often

I've felt and looked at my nose: no changes there. Yet  ;D
