Flema que No Sale: La Señal Silenciosa que Podría Venir de tu Estómago

Do you experience persistent phlegm in your throat that won't go away, even though you don't have a cold? Many people over 50 believe this problem originates solely in the throat, bronchi, or lungs, but in some cases, the sensation of trapped mucus, frequent throat clearing, or a constant need to clear your voice can be related to the stomach. In this video, Dr. Sam explains why persistent phlegm, throat irritation, hoarseness, a dry cough, or that feeling of "something stuck" in the throat can be associated with digestive issues such as silent reflux, also known as laryngopharyngeal reflux. Unlike common reflux, silent reflux doesn't always cause obvious chest pain. That's why many people spend months or even years thinking they have a sore throat, allergies, or chronic phlegm, without suspecting that certain digestive habits might be playing a role. In this video you will learn: ✅ Why you might have phlegm even if you don't have a cold ✅ The possible connection between the stomach and throat ✅ What silent reflux or laryngopharyngeal reflux is ✅ Why frequent throat clearing or hoarseness occurs ✅ What habits can worsen a sore throat ✅ When to consult a healthcare professional This content was developed using educational materials, medical guides, and publications on gastroesophageal reflux, laryngopharyngeal reflux, digestive health, sore throat, chronic cough, and wellness in older adults.
