Yes, when you swallow mucus, it travels down your esophagus and into your stomach. Mucus is produced by the lining of your respiratory and digestive tracts, and swallowing it is a normal process. Once in the stomach, it mixes with stomach contents and is digested.

Where does phlegm go when you swallow it?

When you swallow phlegm, it travels down your esophagus into your stomach. From there, it is mixed with stomach acids and digestive enzymes, which break it down. The components of the phlegm are then absorbed or expelled by the body through normal digestive processes. Swallowing phlegm is a common way for the body to clear mucus from the throat and respiratory system.

What function does mucus have on the gastrointestinal tract?

In the stomach, the stomach acid is there to digest protein. Your stomach, as is mucus, is made of protein. So, your stomach produces mucus to sacrifice instead of the stomach muscle/protein. The mucus is continually being digested by the acid, but it is also continuously being produced at the same rate as its digestion. The mucus also protects the inner lining of the digestive system against abrasive objects you may have eaten. Lubrication? Need I say more than that mucus is slippery so the food slides more easily.
