I've been dealing with constant phlegm in my throat for quite a while now. I hardly ever cough, but the phlegm just keeps showing up every day. I don't feel weak or anything, but it's really starting to annoy me. There's no reduction even though I don't have a cold. What could be causing this and how can I get some relief?

My son has been diagnosed with adenoids in the grade 3 to 4 range, and the doctor has suggested surgery to remove them. I'm really concerned and wonder if this surgery is absolutely necessary? Could there be any natural remedies or alternatives we might consider?

It's better to get them removed if not recurrence would be the problem.
