Fathwa, - Excessive Phlegm While Fasting



ShareShare
| Question:
During the daytime while I am fasting inRamadan, I produce excessive phlegm, some of which I cannot expel, so it remains stuck in my throat. Is there a solution to this?
Answer:
Assalaamu ‘Alaykum, respected sister.
This could be a result of a problem in your respiratory system, such as a chronic infection that may be in your windpipe, throat or nasal sinuses. Furthermore, allergies in the upper respiratory system could cause such a problem.
Some people who suffer from reflux, which is backflow of food from the stomach to the esophagus, face this problem )along with other symptoms(. A chronic stomach ailment may also be the cause of such a problem.
You must know what exactly is causing the problem in order to be able to treat it and take proper medication for it. Therefore, we advise you to consult a physician to determine which of the above is the underlying cause of your problem. |
