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

Well I am glad that others are getting help with the Mayo clinic but no such help here!

I cannot clear my throat; feels like mucus is there. Suggestions? called post nasal drip.
Suggestions please?

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.

Same here!

Avoid all dairy milk products for two weeks. I learned through a Whole30 regimen that I have chronic, hard mucus build-up from dairy milk, which is much better when using a lactose-free milk.

I have a tin of mucus build up. But my is from having a trach in my neck. I use Mucinex DM to bring up the mucus AND thin it out so you can cough to try and get it out. Also, I use a cool mist humidifier in my room at night to help with breathing better. Hope these suggestions help you.

I have had the feeling of mucous in my throat since the onset of Covid in 2021 when I had extreme post nasal drip. My primary first prescribed fluticasone but then connected it with possible acid reflux and prescribed omeprazole. After looking up its deathly effects on natural news.com I stopped. I have been trying apple cider vinegar in hopes of a remedy. I am set to have an endoscopy in a couple of weeks. I wonder how many of us are experiencing this post-covid!!

I also tried Omeprazole for several months- and recently started using OTC mullein drops and I feel it is helping with breaking up the mucus in my throat. I will continue with it and hope it really improves the mucus factor. I agree- all my complications began shortly after my Covid booster- the third shot.
Good luck with your endoscopy. Hope you get some answers👍

Interesting about Covid connection. Will check out mullein drops. Thanks! 🙂

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!
