What causes slime / phlegm (phlegm)?
.
Slime (phlegm) is a concentrated Liquid, attached to the hymen membrane (mucus membrane) along the respiratory tract. So the slime can be removed along the respiratory tract from the lungs to the nose cavity. When this slime gathers, it will be rejected up by “cilia” (small capillary) from the lungs up to the throat.
.
A little slime always doesn’t come to problems because it’s part of the body defense system. The slime in the lungs and trachea trapping the dust and impurities it and takes it to the throat in the way capillary cilia push the slime to the top. While preventing dust from getting into the breathing system. However, a lot of slime shows it is caused by disease, and not a normal thing anymore. This happens especially when the slime is too much and has the color yellow or green or yellow greenish-Forage.
.
What is the cause of slime to gather in the throat?
.
Slime (phlegm) in the throat can be caused by a few factors. Some people experience slime in the throat at night, while some are experiencing slime in the early morning. It may be a sign for chronic respiratory tract problems. Yet the problem of allergies (Allergy) is the main cause of slime.
.
Allergic reaction is caused by small dust or impurities. For example if a worker at the fabric factory, his main problem is to have to face a small sized cloth flying in the air without him realizing. A teacher who teaches his students using chalk while writing on the black board also faces allergies to chalk dust, or if the teacher uses pen marker to write, the possibility that he will be allergic to the smell of ink used.
.
When the throat is attacked by such dust, it will the the formation of the slime (mucus), which aims to collect this subtle alien and left it with the cough process. It’s part of the body resilience system (body immune system), at the same time causing sore throat, apart from the formation of a lot of phlegm just now.
.
No matter what if the throat is “attacked” Great, the body will multiply the defense system until it causes the respiratory tract to be narrowed, to avoid this foreign band into the respiratory tract. This is called a “Bronchospasm” that happens to asthma patients, which if they breathe, a narrow breathing channel causes patients to produce loud sound while breathing.
.
Apart from the problem, a lot of slime and gathering can cause respiratory tract (block). Narrowing respiratory tract (Bronchospasm) and clogged respiratory tract caused by thick slime (Mucus Plug), can result in death especially in children.
.
The slime that is too long in the throat can cause other problems such as tonsillitis, laryngitis, pharyngitis and some infections in the lungs such as acute bronchitis, pneumonia especially bacterial pneumonia and influenza pneumonia.
.
If someone has high fever, sore throat, headache and flu with a clear slime, it may just be a virus infection. If slime or the is yellow, it is caused by bacterial germs infection, especially when the yellow slime / phlegm along with high fever is hard to breathe, headache and pain in the muscles.
.
The phlegm that sticks
.
Those who have slime problems in the morning always experience the conditions where slime slime will always “Stick” there. This situation is called “post nasal drip” conditions where the slime removed from the nose (nostril) is not Melt out through the nose hole but flows behind the nose and gather in the throat.
.
“nasal drip post” is usually very closely related to allergies or sinusitis. Other than that the habit of smoking cigarettes also causes slime in the throat and hard to remove. For Chronic Cigarette Cleaner, usually the long-term effect is that his lungs are always slimy (chronic bronchitis) and sometimes his lungs are damaged and hard to breathe (Emphysema).
.
How to reduce slime
.
Slime in the throat is usually treated with intake, decongestant and in bad case, probably steroids. Yet there are some easy ways to reduce slime in the throat that can be tried at home.
.
One of the easy ways by drinking warm water as often as possible. Patients can add honey into it. Another way with honey mix with cinnamon (Cinnamon) and drink with honey a. If not, you can eat tomato soup prepared with ginger, garlic and white pepper (Pepper).
.
However, it should be sought for the cause of allergies in the house or in the environment of your home. Allergic to dust and cold weather is one of the main reasons for those who have allergies.
