Wow I did not realise that a congested throat could be the problem. I do get congestion in my throat easily with change of climate, and realise now that this is the reason.

I think I will take Mucinex and see if that helps. If not I will try to visit a doctor.


Answers:

Honestly my mother had this problem too and it turned out she has chronic bronchitis of all things! They told her that an over-the-counter medication called MUCINEX is great for loosening and drying up the excess mucus. MUCINEX contains 500mg of Guaifenisin, which is an expectorant, meaning it will make you cough it up. So if you try it, expect to be spitting for about 3 or 4 days before it finally dries up and goes away. Also, you might want to try drinking a hot toddy. Just heat some water in a saucepan on the stove, and add lemon zest (skin), honey, and just a pinch of sugar. You don't want to put too much sugar because it can aggravate your throat. Anyway, drink that hot before bed and it will help to keep your chest and throat clear through the night.

Good luck!! (^_^)
