I cannot clear my throat; feels like mucus is there. Suggestions?

I’ve tried neti rinse and the nasal spray saline rinse. Nothing really helps. The only thing I haven’t tried it’s adovent. I hesitate trying something else. I have tried so many meds I’m getting tired of putting that stuff in my body

I had this and no one could find the cause until I found a Laryngologist who scoped me below the vocal cords, and diagnosed me with subglottic stenosis.

Hi to all. Just a friendly suggestion my pcp shared about throat issues. Apparently citrus helps clear mucous but can activate inflammation/histamine so I found chewable vitamin c gummies that I can suck on couple of times a day. It has worked for me and hopeful the safe allowed couple a day can show relief for others!🌈

Worth a try

I have this issue also. Finally got to see an ENT specialist and was diagnosed with Globus Pharyngeus. Unfortunately no real way of stopping the feeling 😔

I've had this issue for 2 years now and i'm only 21. I've been to an ENT and was told that its probably just reflux and was given a ppi. I refused to take it because i really wanted to get to the root cause of this issue. I decided to get a h pylori test because i knew that this bacteria is very common and can mess with stomach acid. Turns out i was positive and had to go through a round of antibiotics which was surprisingly easy. I then contacted a naturopath which suggested a strict elimination diet. Ever since starting the diet my mucus has decreased drastically. I remember it being so bad i would have to go to the bathroom to clear my throat because i didn't want it to distract others. I'm currently still on the diet and am slowly seeing more and more improvement, hope this helps.

@erikas my young doctor has not checked you throat even though I'm complaining enough for an antibiotic and steroids. She gave me Montelukast which gave me a migraine in the early morning. I also take Cetirizine..

Guaefinesin 1200mg. 12 hr. Lots of room temp water.

I have read through so many of your guys comments. I truly thought I was the only one going through this. Im so embarrassed by my coughing and clearing of throat which then makes me anxious and the I do it even more.

A little back ground...

I went on holidays for 2 weeks to an island in British Colombia. A place I have gone to before. So nothing new. We traveled home and got in late. Next morning when I woke up everything started. I woke up with this cough and clearing of my throat and severe tinnitus in my right ear which happened for 6 solid months. I thought maybe an ear infection. Spoke with a Dr he agreed went on a course of antibiotics. That gave some minor relief with tinnitus but not enough. Needed a second round of antibiotics. Then we thought sinus infection. Long story short for 6 mo ths I was on a lot of antibiotics which seemed to not help. Went to a naturopath. She found mold and fungus in my system found only to where we were. Went on a fungus cleanse for 9 weeks and the tinnitus was gone. But still coughing and clearing my throat constantly. I have continued to see the naturopath, seen multiple ENT's my family dr. A women's dr waiting for a neurologist but still can't get rid of my cough and clearing of throat. I have been on all kinds of sinus sprays. Antihistamines. Nasal rinse prescription and OTC. Antacids for GERD. The women dr diagnosed me pre menopausal. Put me on hormones but still doesn't help. I have tried lots of natural supplements seen a herbologist. Im lost. Embarrassed. Tired of this life style now. Throat is always sore now

I drink alot of water eat very healthy. No processed foods, very very minimal dairy. No sugar.

Any tips tricks would be appreciated. Bonus if it's a natural remedy.

Just tired of Drowning in my own mucous

Hi @kwal. Know you've read a lot so hopeful this new to you 🤞. First simple try of vitamin c gummies, only couple a day low sugar…, can cut into small pieces to suck on throughout day. Other that helped me tremendously was food/drink anything consumed diary with any change in cough mucous or any other reaction🙃. Histamine was my new item to avoid and then a trained nutritionist for accurate/tailored consumption help for you🤞. Quickest recovery wishes🌈
