Acid Reflux ??: It is hard to tell without being able to evaluate you in person, but acid reflux can occur all the way up to the back of the throat. A hiatal hernia can make acid reflux easier and more severe. Acid can irritate the throat and lead to a sore throat. It can also spill over into the lungs and cause coughing and choking. The acid irritation can lead to excess mucous as well. See your doctor for eval.
