I have same issue with feeling like I have mucus in throat- but no post nasal drip. Seems like I never clear it out. Anxious to hear any suggestions.

Hi Mari,
I'm sorry to hear of this situation for you and others on here. How awful! I don't have that problem but when I do feel like I'm getting congested, I gargle with Listerine mouthwash; the original one not the flavored ones. It works well for that for me and might at least, help with all of your situations with the mucus in your throat. Hot salt water is good to gargle with as is dill pickle juice. I used to have a lot of sore throats when I was younger and all of these helped my throat. I used the hot salt water and dill pickle juice when I couldn't afford the Listerine. However, it was the Listerine that eventually cured my sore throats. I hope this helps.
The suggestion of staying away from milk products is a good one. I've noticed milk these days has a lot of extra ingredients other than milk. So does Cream of Wheat! We had it for breakfast and it tasted funny. I looked at the ingredients and there was an inch of additives that had never been in it before! Read the label even if you've bought that brand before!
Good luck!
