try salt and water together everyday once in the morning and once at night it helps me all the time and also you can try warm tea that helps as well if you don't gargle the water everyday it wont get better and it only takes seconds to gargle.
it really works for me I've been doing this for 6 months everyday i just stopped gargling 4 days ago and my throat feels 10 times better no more mucus or anything.
Eating sugar and dairy products can cause an excess production of mucus. Try cutting back on those. Even trying to cut sugar and out as a whole for a while, and see how that works. I've had the same problem for ages, but a diabetic diet I went on cleared me up pretty well. You'd be suprised. If you find you have an increased problem after eating icecream, then you should definitely give it a try.
I have the same symptoms. I constantly clear my throat, which drives my wife and others crazy that I am nearby.
I have seen and ENT doctor about 4 years ago, and she diagnosed it as acid-reflex. I took several medications, including Prilosac, Previcid, and also a prescription drug that supposedly lasted a true 24 hours. My symptoms have remained the same. I recently went to another doctor that specializes in Heart-Burn. They did a test that places a tube down your nose, into your stomach for 24 hours and measures any acid reflex. Although there was a very slight amount registered, it was so insignificant that the doctor said it was not the cause of my issue. I then did a throat barrium swallow test that watches the fluids and solids as it goes down your throat. Again, nothing was abnormal.
I might go see either an allergist or a different ENT again since I now know I do not have acid-reflux.
If you get any additional information, please pass it along.

I'm 62 and dealing with this as long as I remember. Finally, I have improvement with a Controlled Carbohydrate Nutritional Approach specifically for Correcting Metabolic Imbalances. Cheese may need to go for a few weeks, other things go first, such as sugar, all forms, including sweet fruit and most high glycemic carbohydrates. Now I coach others on the Controlled Carbohydrate Nutritional Approach.

Just found this post, I know it's pretty old but a lot of people need help with this throat clearing. Years ago a regular customer use to come in and always buy the same thing, Solgar Digestive Aid. He told me he used it for his constant throat clearing, and I told him I had the same problem. I bought a bottle, and sure enough, it worked like a charm. It has enzymes that break up the mucous. I tried a few other types of digestive enzymes and none worked as good as the Solgar Digestive Aid. It comes in a brown glass bottle with gold cap & labels and available in some health food stores or online. Small bottle around $12 or so and well worth it.
How much of the Solgar Digestive Aid do you take? how often? Do you have to continue to take it forever? I have had this constant clearing of the throat problem for 13 yrs. now. Drs. say it is Hay Fever. Drs. had me on 3 medicines and they weren't doing any good. Nothing has made it really go away. A few months ago, I tried a super supplements product called Clear Lung, and it helped significantly, but unfortunately, over time it builds up a slightly unpleasant odor ( I think it was from sulfur ). I stopped taking it and switched to a different natural product which didn't work as well. I am so plagued by the phlegm and the coughing. I am searching for a better answer. I have always suspected dairy has caused me problems. When I was a baby, I broke out in a rash and had to go completely off food for 2 years, existing on a soy product. I, too, believe that diet is most of the problem and I know I need to drink more water. I am interested in your answer about the Solgar Digestive Aid. Susan.
