Why do old people have phlegm in their throats when they are dying?

Most cases of phlegm in the throat of the elderly at the end of their life are related to the failure of their organs. It is also possible that there is obstruction in the respiratory tract. It is also related to spleen deficiency caused by long-term illness.

1. Failure of various organs of the elderly: Before the elderly die, their organs will experience functional decline and failure. At this time, they will have symptoms of sputum during swimming activities, which may be related to long-term stimulation of inflammation.

2. Respiratory obstruction: If the elderly have serious respiratory diseases, it will cause respiratory obstruction. Before death, a large amount of phlegm will accumulate in the throat. Severe cases will suffocate directly. It is best to communicate with a doctor in time.

3. Related to spleen deficiency: Elderly people who have been ill for a long time are likely to become physically weak. At this time, the spleen and lungs will be weak, which will cause an increase in sputum.

If an elderly person suffers from a serious illness in daily life and has symptoms such as breathing with open mouth, shortness of breath, and purple face, it is necessary to communicate with the doctor in time and provide timely rescue if possible to prolong life as much as possible.

The elderly have a weak constitution and have already developed symptoms in their lives. They should pay attention to their living environment, try to keep it fresh, and also keep the temperature and humidity in the house at appropriate levels.
