What happens if you swallow phlegm?

Swallowing phlegm is generally harmless as it is a natural part of the body's mucus production. When swallowed, phlegm is digested in the stomach like any other food or liquid. However, if phlegm is thick or contains pathogens, it may indicate an underlying condition, and excessive swallowing could lead to discomfort. If symptoms persist, it’s best to consult a healthcare professional.

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.
