A member asked:
Sir,whenever i eat fast foods or rice items which is made of high fat oil, when i cough i feel oily or mucous collected in my throat ..why it happes??

Reflux...: Eating those foods can decrease pressure that keeps acid in the stomach and cause the acid to go up through your esophagus and to your throat area. Mucus is made to protect you from the acid that goes up. Also can cause you to feel 'lump' in your throat. It is usually called GERD or reflux. Change diet, and/or antacids like Prilosec can help.
