I feel phlegm in my throat that I can't clear (post-nasal drip).
This is the symptom where nasal discharge does not exit forward but instead drains backward, causing a sensation of something stuck in the throat (post-nasal drip syndrome). This specific sensation is sometimes referred to as 'Maehaekgi' (globus sensation). It can trigger a frequent urge to clear the throat and is a common cause of bad breath. Treatment for the nasal condition is required, along with therapy to reduce inflammation in the throat.

- 원인: 비염이나 축농증으로 생긴 끈적한 콧물이 목 뒤로 넘어가는 것입니다.
- 습관: 억지로 "켁켁"거리면 목 점막만 상합니다. 따뜻한 물을 자주 마셔 점액을 묽게 해주세요.
- 치료: 코 안의 농을 빼내는 배농 요법이 효과적입니다.

누우면 콧물이 목을 자극해 기침이 심해집니다. 베개를 약간 높게 베고 주무세요.
