Excess mucus production in the digestive tract can cause abdominal discomfort and affect digestion, while in the respiratory passageway, it leads to symptoms like coughing and difficulty breathing. The purpose of this mucus production is to trap and remove irritants, offering protective mechanisms in both systems. For example, in the respiratory system, mucus helps capture and remove inhaled particles, safeguarding the lungs.
