Catarrh
Catarrh is a build-up of mucus in your nose and sinuses and phlegm in your throat. It usually clears up by itself but see a GP if it lasts longer than a few weeks.
Check if you have catarrh
You may get catarrh if you have an infection like a cold, flu or sinusitis.
Symptoms of catarrh include:
- a constantly blocked nose
- feeling like there's a lump or something stuck in your throat
- a frequent need to swallow or cough to try to clear your throat
- a feeling that mucus is slowly dripping down the back of your throat (postnasal drip)
- a crackling feeling in your ears
These symptoms usually only last a few days, but sometimes they can last longer.
Things you can do to help ease catarrh
Although catarrh can be annoying, phlegm and mucus are not harmful and are the body's way of clearing infection.
It usually goes away by itself, but there are some things you can do to help ease the symptoms.
