Whats the Cause of Jelly-Like Mucus?

Jelly-like sputum is often associated with chronic pharyngitis, and it may also be caused by acute bronchitis, pneumonia, and other reasons. Targeted treatment measures need to be taken according to the cause of the illness.

1. Chronic Pharyngitis: It is considered to be related to long-term smoking, and it may also be caused by incorrect dietary habits, which can lead to damage to the throat mucosa. It may also cause local congestion and swelling and may breed a large amount of mucus. Patients can use Qinghou Liyan Granules, Amoxicillin Capsules, and other medications under the guidance of a doctor, but they also need to drink more water to keep the throat moist.

2. Acute Bronchitis: It may be related to inhaling irritating gases, or it may be caused by a weakened immune system. It usually leads to congestion and swelling of the bronchial mucosa, even accompanied by persistent coughing. You can use Ambroxol Hydrochloride Oral Solution, Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide Granules, and other medications to relieve cough symptoms as recommended by your doctor, which can also help expectorate sputum.

3. Pneumonia: It is an infectious disease of lung tissue, considering the invasion of Streptococcus pneumoniae into lung tissue. The patient's respiratory function may be impaired to some extent, usually accompanied by persistent coughing symptoms and may produce a large amount of sputum. You can follow the doctor's advice and use Cefalexin Granules, Moxifloxacin Hydrochloride Tablets, and other medications, but you also need to change incorrect personal habits to avoid long-term smoking or drinking. It is also not excluded that it is caused by tuberculosis, which requires timely treatment. Pay attention to a light and easy-to-digest diet in daily life, and avoid spicy and stimulating foods.
