Is it dangerous to swallow my phlegm, I can't spit it out?

Hello, I am 23 years old. I have allergic rhinitis and I have a lot of mucus in my bronchi. So I cough. Oily cough. I do sinus rinse 7-8 times a day. I take Aerius.

Hello,

No, it is not dangerous, although I understand that it is unpleasant.

If the anti-histamine and nasal hygiene are partially effective, I would suggest consulting your pharmacist.ne who can assess the possibility of prescribing a corticosteroid nasal spray which can greatly help.

Cordially,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
