Do you have a lot of phlegm after surgery

Post-surgery phlegm production can vary depending on the type of surgery and individual factors. Some surgeries, such as those involving the head and neck, may result in increased phlegm production due to inflammation and irritation of the respiratory tract. It is important to stay hydrated and practice deep breathing exercises to help clear any excess phlegm. If you are experiencing severe or persistent phlegm production after surgery, it is recommended to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
