Mucus in throat but lungs and sinuses clear

I want to thank again all that responded to me about mucus in the throat . I have used your suggestions I drink warm lemon water before bed with a cracker then take guaifenesin at bedtime have my bed raised as I have an adjustable bed . This has helped a lot . During the day I take on guaifenesin also I notice the heaviness in my upper chest is gone also But with allergy season her those purple trees have started it again.

Glad you improved. I also find suggestions really helpful. Most can't hurt and often help. I think you said you use nasal irrigation once a week. I increased mine to daily before bedtime. In the morning I do a steam inhalation with a drop of peppermint essential oi. I don't really know how effective they are but might help clear the allergens.

@bride I have on orange and eucalyptus right now love 5he peppermint I use different essential oil and have mixed for massage 😁 I love connect we all share so neat take care be safe

Thanks! I so agree. Stat safe also.

BJLEVINE 99 Do you still have thr issue.. I have same saw an ENT and prescribed OMEPRAZONE, says its due to stomach acid

@rkuz I still have so much mucus in my throat
So the Dr said it was do to stomach acid? I will try it and see as now I'm having a burning in my mouth also , interesting thanks

I just have the mucous. Started around March. I attributed it to allergies but hasn’t changed. I saw a ENT a few days ago and also said acid andbb B put me on Omeprazone no change yet but I expect it may take awhile

I have been on Omeprazole for years quit taking it does nothing for me!

I have the same problem been ENT they do nothing. Now they want to try Speech Therapy I don't know how that is going to get mucous from always fill up. If you find anything please let me know thank you!

Someone has requested an update on how I resolved my mucous and sinus issues. Well, in short, I haven’t. But I have come to terms with the problem. The main thing for me was, after ensuring that there doesn’t appear to be any major issue, I accepted that it doesn’t matter whether the doctor understands or not. I just need to deal with it. And I am certainly not alone. Mainstream medicine is great for acute issues but not so much for chronic problems. And doctors don’t like hearing about problems they can’t solve.

For my sinuses I do a saline irrigation daily, using heated sterile water. I really believe this helps. I use Nasonex intermittently. I have stopped recently because I felt it helped keep my nasal passages clear but the post nasal mucous seemed thicker and more problematic. Occasionally I think the mucous irritates the Eustachian tube and my hearing gets a bit distorted. That drives me mad but rarely lasts very long. For the mucous in my throat, especially at night, I drink lemon juice in boiling water with a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot water with a piece of raw ginger. If my throat gets very irritated then a spoonful of honey seems to help. I also take guaifenesin but I am not so sure it helps. If I do take guaifenisin I make doubly sure I drink lots of fluid.

And that’s about it really. No great breakthrough but life is good.
