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

When I was dealing with acid reflux, I experienced regular congestion in my throat. Drinking a little lemon juice or apple cider vinegar, mixed with water or tea, would often clear my throat. But I had to be careful as too much lemon juice or acv would aggravate my reflux. Sending healing energy your way!

Ever since after my throat and neck radiation almost 4 1/2 years ago I have a building up of mucous above my soft palate. Actually above my whole palate 24/7 that I can't blow out of my nose. The only thing that loosens the sticky stuff up is an aerosol of saline nasal spray. I spray enough until I can taste the salt from the back of my tongue. Then go back to the sofa sitting up 4 AM with my head propped back to feel the thick mocous starts to ooze down where I can snort it out and spit it out. This morning I am lucky to catch an hour sleep. The roof of my mouth felt like it had lard and my also blistered sensation. I know I had 33 lymph nodes removed on the left side of my neck because 2 were positive. So I am wondering if it is lymphatic fluids building up there. It's so much of a problem I can't swallow any food or take a nice gulp of liquid because of the obstruction above my soft palate. I have a stomach tube close to 5 years now to take in Glucerna 3 times aday.

Hello, Have you gone to the physical therapist for a swallow test? They image as you swallow various foods to determine where it’s getting stuck and if it is getting into your lungs. Then will give you specific excises work throat muscles. I hope this helps. MAC
