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

I have used Mucinex 1200 mg with Benadryl 25mg. Alone the Mucinex did not help much but it did help with the Benadryl. I stopped them both when I found out the side effects: Benadryl: Alzheimer's & Dementia. The Mucinex: kidney stones! Way too risky!
I had an appointment with another ENT Dr. for a second opinion. He recommended "Ipratropium Bromide" Nasal solution. I have been using it over a week without success. I will use it for a month and then go back to see the end of September.

So annoying how the meds that work best for this (Sudafed too) are too risky to take. I still use them on occasion but you’re wise to look for alternative solutions.
