Phelgm for months.

Question

Phelgm for months.

Asked for Male, 61 Years

Sometimes no phelgm is coming out while coughing, but feeling of a scratch is there.( No sore throat or difficulty in swallowing) clearing throat also brings up grey phelgm, non diabetic only on thyroid medication. No fever or weight loss Coughing after eating also. Please help.
