Introduction
If gurgling sounds in the throat are caused by pharyngitis, medications such as compound borax solution, iodine lozenges, acyclovir tablets, or ribavirin granules can be used for treatment. If caused by pneumonia, drugs such as cefotaxime sodium for injection or ceftriaxone sodium for injection may be used. If caused by bronchitis, treatments may include levofloxacin hydrochloride capsules or ciprofloxacin hydrochloride tablets.

The throat making gurgling sounds and constant phlegm can be managed by addressing the underlying cause, with common conditions including pharyngitis, pneumonia, and bronchitis.

1. Pharyngitis: If pharyngitis is causing gurgling sounds and persistent phlegm, treatment may include medications such as compound borax solution, iodine lozenges, acyclovir tablets, or ribavirin granules, used according to medical advice.

2. Pneumonia: If pneumonia is responsible for the gurgling throat and excessive phlegm, patients may follow medical guidance to use medications like cefotaxime sodium for injection or ceftriaxone sodium for injection.

3. Bronchitis: If bronchitis leads to gurgling sounds and ongoing phlegm, treatment under a doctor's supervision may involve medications such as levofloxacin hydrochloride capsules or ciprofloxacin hydrochloride tablets.

In addition, upper respiratory tract infections, throat cysts, and other conditions may also cause gurgling throat sounds and persistent phlegm. Patients are advised to seek timely medical evaluation to determine the exact cause and receive appropriate treatment as prescribed. It is also important to maintain a light diet and minimize irritation to the throat.
