Mucus in throat but lungs and sinuses clear

@bjlevine99 I came across this question thread from 2018. Did you ever figure out what was happening with the mucus in your throat. I’ve had the exact same problem since 2017. I have mucus sitting around my larynx but can’t figure out what is causing it. I’ve have looked into and tried everything I can think of with no results (sinus surgery, endoscopy with acid tracker placed in throat, I tried the Clatifix treatment, Protonix for 6 months, nasal steroids, allergy meds, you name it. Nothing works. I get little sleep from having to cough to dislodge mucus. I’m hoping you finally figured out what’s wrong?

I just read alot of research about how this could be LPR also known as Respiratory Reflux. It suggests treating allergies, changing to a low acid diet and raise the head of your bed!!! It said after long term mucous production can cause hearing problems. It mentioned Silent Nocturnal Respiratory Reflux.
I am reading alot and I am going to try to raise the head of my bed. I have hoarseness , occasional trouble swallowing, I never have heartburn but I do have mucus stuck in my throat. the doctors kept telling me it was from my lungs and I keep telling them NO it isn't. Then they said TMJ, on and on. Does anyone else have ideas.
