REALLY annoying mucus in throat.

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone:

 

I am hoping someone will have some ideas about what to

do here.

 

For a while now, I have been experiencing excess mucus

(clear) in my throat and I can't seem to get rid of

it. I am assuming it is an allergy to something

because it does respond to anti-histamines.

 

I manage it during the day by drinking water with

apple cider vinegar in it. But at night, I have to

take a anti-histamine or I cannot sleep because of it.

When I wake up, I have to spit alot of this out that

has accumulated through the night. Then I am fine

until about 11am and the cycle starts all over.

 

Just an FYI, I have very recently begun to clean up my

diet and have cut way back on carbs and sugar, but

haven't been doing that long enough to make a

difference yet. I also use Flonase three times a week

for chronic nasal congestion, but I've also gone for a

year without using the flonase and the mucus in my

throat was still a problem.

 

Any advice will be helpful. I do have a doctors

appointment for it soon, but I know and you know he

will just want to give me more drugs which I really do

not want to take. I most just want to make sure I

don't have something more serious.

 

Thanks.

Elaine

I have a similar problem but I always thought it was due to smoking. Now that I

have quit smoking I am hoping it will go away. I'm going to start trying

gargling with warm salt water, thats supposed to help you cough that stuff up.

Also, I started using a salt tooth paste, and that helped a little, and it

helped my nasal congestion. You might try that. I don't know if whats been

suggested to me for curing smokers phlem will help with you, but I don't think

it will hurt. I'll let you know if I discover anything else.

Good luck!

Hi Jessika,

 

Thanks for the tips. I stopped eating sugar and cut

back on other carbs a week ago, and this problem seems

to have gone away. I haven't had the mucus for two

days now, and that is the first time in months that it

hasn't occurred. Last night I was able to skip the

anti-histamine for the first time in probably three

years. I am very cautiously optimistic. I didn't eat

dairy other than a small amount of cream in my one cup

of coffee that I have every day. I still do that.

 

Congratulations on quitting smoking. That is not

easy.

 

Take care,

Elaine
