I too have had the annoying mucous in the back of my throat and terrible problems with tonsils. I have found something that helps me. I have a book by Donald Lepore called "The Ultimate Healing Guide" it has helped with lots of problems regular doctors would just shrug off. There are 2 things that could possibly help. One is SODIUM CHLORIDE or better known as SALT. I use a natural sea salt, better yet a pink sea salt which has minerals in it. It works when you have too much calcium in your system or slow digestion of dairy or heartburn.
The other alternative is having a FAT ALLERGY which relates to a sulfur deficiency which in return relates to your tonsils. I recommend getting the book and reading trying to find out which relates to you because there are several alternatives and the symptoms vary slightly. I recently lost my voice and had painful swollen tonsil problems for 10 days until I started taking SULFUR. The doctors wanted to remove my tonsils in the past for this. However, the tonsils are important in the body. In this case, my swollen tonsil problem was resolved with in the hour after taking the supplement. This has helped me . . . I hope you find your answers. I know the mucous is awful; especially when you gag on it and it effects everyday life. Keep searching until you find your answer!!

Hello,
I have the same problem--productive throat clearing and coughing after eating and drinking. Drinks and tiny/rough foods are worst. So far my only diagnosis is reflux that reaches the throat area. Please, if you have this problem, realize that it's important to request PPIs (proton pump inhibitors) twice a day, possibly supplemented with something like Pepcid at night. Also follow reflux advice (raising the head of the bed with blocks, not pillows) and following a reflux diet. This is the only thing that may have improved my symptoms, although they do recur.
Also, if you find a solution, please post it. So many people suffer with this and we all need answers.
Wishing all the best.

Try not eating any darey products as these can induce mocus that helped me a lot .I drink soy milk now and no fdat icecream
I found out recently while reading a medical book that excessive throat drainage can be a symptom of a milk allergy! I stopped drinking milk and the big lump is gone and i don't have to constantly swallow! What many people do not know is that many people have a milk allergy (it is not the same as lactose intolerance). Individuals may be allergic to the whey or the curd of milk. Your body tries to protect itself against the milk, which it thinks is a germ, and produces excessive mucus. If you drink milk or eat a lot of dairy like I did, this drainage issue really bothered me- Now that I watch my dairy intake, i feel so much better and I get sick less often! I would recommend to anyone who has excessive drainage to not drink milk for a few days and see if it helps!! :-)

Excessive Mucus in Throat
I have had excessive mucus in my throat as well and have had a sore throat for over a year. It started out off and on but is now every day and worsens at night. I do not get any sleep anymore and have been to several doctors already. I have been told by one doctor it is my tonsils and the other doctor that it is psychological. My nose is stuffed up every day and night and I feel like i do when I have a cold. My ears have always seemed to click when I swallow and last October, I had 3 ear infections in a row. Not sure what to do at this point but I don't think I can handle this much longer.

Not sure what to do at this point but I don't think I can handle this much longer. I am 29 years old and have always had sinus issues but never have they caused such a long term sore throat that won't seem to go away. I was put on allergy shots recently but I doubt those will do anything if no other allergy treatments have worked. I feel that there is an underlying issue and don't know what to do to find it. It is hard to treat something if you don't know the cause.
I'm not a doctor, only a paramedic - even so, my knowledge of human biology is limited but - since I also have this problem and have noticed that i wasn't born with it. it would seem it's something that "Starts" as I noticed in the quote above. I think it might well have to do with the ears too as I found myself getting dizzy when I look up at tall objects which never used to happen. I find the mucus is a mixture of a light yellow mucus and a transparent colourless mucus. The volume is considerable leading me to believe that the body is trying to fight something off - I'm going to research the link between my issue and the ears and get back to you when I have an answer. It's unpleasant to live like this. I will try an anti-bacterial ear drop treatment and also just give it a while without washing hair and cleaning with cotton buds as suggested (for swimmers ear).

I know your post was is old. I'm new to this site but found this topic of use to me as i have the same bloody issue. it too was driving me crazy. I have had some sucess over the last few weeks taking a anti-histomin called "cetirizine hydrochloride". I had tried other antihistomine previously but they were useless. this is the only one. i take it in thte evening once a day and it doesn't cost a lot but it has been incredable the effect. the quack also has me on a beni..something inhailer; just a basic spay twice a day. so far its the cetiririzine thats been amazing.
I'm pleased to say that i stumbled across my miricle drug "cetirizine hydrochloride". For the last few weeks the symtoms have been much less of a problem.
That just like you were discussing my problem on here
I have been suffering from mucus with thick smelly particles inside. It is hard at the lower part of my throat and the color of it is yellow. What could be causing this?
