A Way To Stop Excess Mucus?!


Question: Well I think I have too much mucus, I wake up feeling it in my throat. My nose isn't congested but I can tell it's built up as it's in my throat and if I try I can cough it up and spit it out.

My mouth feels as if it's covered in it as well. I brush once at night and once during the day and no matter how frequently I brush the same problems arise.

Is there a condition with excess mucus?
Is spitting it out better for me as I thought it was bad to suck it down(gross too)?

I am simply unsure and would like any and all advice, if you have articles it'd be appreciated.

PS I don't have any allergies or asthma.

Try Mucinex it's great at loosening mucus & getting rid of congestion in throat.
Sounds like you have a post nasal drip.

It's okay to swallow mucus, your gastric juices will take care of it.
Spitting it out can cause your throat to get more sore. (my ENT MD).
