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

Hello dancing1,
Have you ever had your throat examined internally with a nasal scoping? It is uncomfortable but painless. You could have vocal cord problems. If the cords are not functioning properly or are partially paralyzed, many times a person will still be able to talk and eat/drink. The mucus is trapped and cannot get out. It is just a thought. By the way, Covid caused many vocal cord problems in certain cases. Best wishes to you.

Thank you very much I just saw this. When I see my gastroenterologist I will ask him. The taste is still as bad no change at all my primary doctor did ask me to try Gaviscon again after each meal but it still hadn’t changed a thing. My swallowing still very difficult so mainly eating soft or liquid foods. Still feeling like something is at the very back of my throat. Tried milking the glands to help with salvia but only caused a but more sore throat. Thank you so very much again I appreciate your reply. Linda.
