I have been having catarrh discharge from my mouth through my throat for the past 4 months. Kindly let me know what to do?

Four months is a long time to have catarrh.  The cause could be an allergy to some environmental factors or a prolonged viral infection. It is therefore important for you to know what triggers off the problem such as dust, smoke or a cold weather condition. Steam inhalatation, aspirin tablets  as well as nasal drops can be used as a first line treatment. If these do not work, then you will certainly need to see a doctor who will further examine you and send a sample of your phlegm for proper Laboratory investigations. You may also benefit from a nasal washout in case your sinuses have been  blocked by a long standing infection.
