I am in the same boat. ENT at my local hospital gave me NeilMed sinus rinse with a few sachets to start me off and suggested a nasal rinse first thing in the morning and an hour prior to going to bed, been doing this for a number of years now and it does help, I get a couple of days mucus free and think it is cleared and stop the rinses but the mucus always comes back and I have to start up again and if miss a rinse I sure know about it 15-20 minutes coughing and hacking session to get it clear.
Hope this helps.

I also have been suffering with severe mucous cough for 7 years...am now 44 years old. Living in a mountainous area with many pollens and constant remodeling of an old cabin have reeked havoc on my sinuses and robbed me of energy...also completely shutting me down with sickness several times. I have been to an Ayurvedic doctor which helped me temporarily get my energy back by cutting out all dairy, wheat, meat products and alcohol (exception of rice wine only). Although this helped increase my energy level, the cough never went away. I then went to the Allergy Association of America where they did several tests including a pin prick panel on my back of all possible allergy causes based on the environment I live...found out I have acute allergy to dust which is causing asthma tendencies. They put me on a steroid for two months which stopped the cough but the day the pills ended, the cough came back. I have since discovered that what has really worked best and keeps the cough to a minimum is a natural homemade tea of hot water with a squeeze of fresh cut lemon and local honey...I add mint sometimes as well...I drink this every morning. I have cut out all red wine and keep coffee to a minimum as both of these make my condition worse. Natural oil "Breathe" from Doterra also helps the asthma affects..one drop in the middle of the palm of your hand, rub hands together and cup hands over mouth and inhale. Helps a lot! Would like to hear about any other natural remedies that have helped anyone with this very frustrating chronic issue.
I also have this problem after a big cold with bronchitis, I have a mucus buildup in the mornings and throughout the day I have a feeling of something gelatinous in the back of my throat that- it is really just a thickening of my saliva. For a few years now I had this but didn't see a doctor for it. I really want to cure it naturally if I can and I hope it is not a symptom of a serious disease. Also, after I eat I have to clear my throat often but not spit. What is this problem? Is it a virus that I caught and it stayed in my throat?
No dairy, no red meat. It's a BIG process to get rid of mucous in your system, as well as quite expensive . Fresh salads, fresh fruits, vegetables cooked under 130 degrees F.
for 3 minutes, until crisp tender. A little olive oil or lemon or a dash of Sea salt, and any herbs, will really enhance this type of menu.
1/2 cup Steel oats, soaked, 6 hours in 1 cup of water with cinnamon, is nice treat. I use pure Stevia extract as a sweetener,
Remember... LEMON IS OUR BEST FRIEND. Unlike people think, pure lemon juice is NOT acidic! It turns alkaline in your system.
2 TBs. fresh lemon juice, 3 times a day, strait-- no water or food 20 minutes before or after,will drastically help reduce mucous in your system. Sounds like you have a severe acid/alkaline imbalance. There IS NO MAGIC PILL TO HELP! It's what your eating. It's a gradual trade off, of what you are eating now... and it DOES take discipline. However...the rewards are miraculous. All the best of health to you.

Hello MR Desperate, i have the same condition for four years now. ENT doctors in Uganda prescribed but no single drug has cured it. It is truly a very disturbing issue which worries me so much.
Did you ever resolve this?
I have an update now. I have been using small amounts of fava beans (= broad beans), and it helps!! There is a minor (?) issue still: If I consume java beans after cooking, they won't help. If I consume the germs only, it won't help. The way I have consumed is: put them in mild water for two days, then eat the _bean_ itself (if there are germs already as well, you can eat them as well, obviously it doesn't matter). The issue with this is that beans have some amount of lectin, and there might be some harm to health otherwise; it may cause some stomach pain for a period, maybe it could even cause hazard to the blood. But up to now I'm still alive. Mucus production has dropped to 10 % (the best days) ... 50 % (some other days). The amount to consume: about 20 pieces, twice daily. Hope that this could help someone else as well. But be careful with possible toxicity!
Inflammatory it is ?
Fava beans? I will try anything. I am desperate. been to ENT, just ad Endoscope. Docs say nothing wrong with me .Going to Pulmonary specialist in 2 weeks Where can I find Fava Beans ? I have never heard of them before
I am the same ! Ive had it for over 6 years and have given up on the doctors i dont know what to do....
what are you saying here? ist singulair for allergie...whats that??
Is it Bronchiectasis?
Hi all. I got whacked with organophosphate pesticide. I had no idea I was exposed and thought I had the worst flu of my life during vacation, and 10 days later/ after I got home, the respiratory symptoms started. I'm pretty sure I was exposed to Trichlorfon or dichlorvos paste for large animals like cows or horses. I couldn't breath and thought I was going to die Mucus like crazy, and my throat muscles were terribly weakened neurologically. It's called dysphagia, and it would close when I was asleep. needless to say it also emulated GERD. However, I was treated for palliative care in the emergency room and sent home with steroid inhaler and albuterol, and my doc gave me fexofenadine and Nexium. I had imaging done by gastroenterologist. and I did not have GERD. Pulmonologist said I did not have COPD, or Congestive issues. It has been 2 years and I have slowly worked my way to health. I used decreasing amounts of Benadryl and Bentonite clay in mineral water. N Acetyl-Cysteine. and I used atropine when it got bad (from bella donna in Natural food store) . Organophosphates metabolize into your fat,and leach out over time. It takes years to get rid of. Organophosphates are sprayed on our food. Do the research. Many of youhave probably been nerve gassed with Organophosphates. It's a HUGE problem in the U.S. and information is being suppressed, and it's impossible to detect if yor go 48 hours without proper treatment, but people don't because they have no idea what it is , and most doctors are oblivious, unless you are in an agricultural area. Many of you are describing what sounds like long term symptomology of a specific class of organophosphates. Also, do any of you know horse or cattle handlers that might have a reason to have you gone? Just offering people an opportunity to heal.......
