I am 32 and I have an awful awful problem with mucus in my throat, it really is affecting my life in every way. Sometimes its so sore it feels like someone is squeezing my throat, its feels so tight. I have a horrible taste in my mouth and my breath is not good! I've been to 5 ENT consultants over the past 5 years...I've also been told that there is nothing that can be done, whcih just seems incredible in this day and age with all the advances in medicine. I'd be so happy if anyone out there could offer some advice. My sleeps are awful and I wake up with a headache every morning. What a life! I'm so so fed up and really feel like my life is just slipping away.

I am an Indian of 70Yrs. I have been corrected my problem by different tries. At present, I am coughing very much with full force & feeling mucus harrasing me to disturb my breathing. After hot water bath, it is more suffering. At night as soon as I lie down 2-3 heavy coughing.
For this, I have come to the conclusion that a pinch of kitchen salt in the mouth & slowely taking it down in liquid form helps me a lot. At night also the same Moreover to this a small pill of Yestimadhu in mouth helps me a lot. It is advisable to keep in mouth before going to somewhere. This pill is an ayurvedic natural vegetation powder's
pill. Try it & please let me know. Poor digestion also generates this more. One should have easily digestable food. Thanks.

I’ve posted similar thoughts to some sites but this information is worth repeating –
I’ve been reading the many posts about chronic mucus in the throat. I’ve been there – done that for many years. I’ve seen 4 different doctors without any positive results and tried MANY - MANY Rx’s. I’ve been tested for allergies, asthma and GERD and I’m not a smoker. I not knocking the medical community but they seem to have tunnel vision when it comes to this condition. With the help of some on-line postings and some research, I’ve come upon some promising results.
Antibiotics seem to be a common denominator. When a doctor prescribes an antibiotic it kills all the bacteria [good and bad] in your system – this is good when you are ill since it eliminates what was making you ill. However the elimination of the good bacteria has consequences. [Please note that I’m not a medical professional so my descriptions/explanations may not be stated well but this is what I’ve pieced together with some research] There is a relationship in the body between mucus and good bacteria. If the good bacteria are not adequate, the body produces mucus as protection.
With my condition, I separated it to a mucus problem and a post-nasal drip problem. First the mucus - Probiotics are designed to replace the good bacteria. They are not new and have been around for a long time and there is a lot of information available on them – doing your own research is recommended. In my case, I’ve been prescribed antibiotics many times over the years but never replaced the good bacteria. So I started with a low dose of Probiotic and worked up. [I was taking 3 capsules 2X daily and then backed off] This has reduced the mucus in my throat a lot – maybe 80% or more. [I’m reluctant to say that I’m cured]
Next the post-nasal drip. This is still a work in progress. Over-the-counter decongestants aren’t a solution for me – Sudafed-like compounds mess with my blood pressure but I still use Flonase. So thanks to another on-line posting, I use lemon water to cut any drip. The best addition has been the use of Quercetin [a supplement which is an natural anti-inflammatory and anti-histamine] So far, so good! It seems to be working.
I hope this information works for you. Do your own research on this. If it does work, pass the word around on the various message boards (as well as your own doctors) since traditional medicine is in the fog about this issue. I also recommend reading Dr. Mark Stengler’s writings about “Chronic Sinusitis A Natural Cure” [Many sites prevent hyperlinks to other sites but you can Google him]. Good luck.
