Sinus or Reflux?: Thick mucus in the throat is due to irritation to the mucosa. Generally this means either 1)irritation due to postnasal drip from allergies or chronic sinus infection, or 2)irritation from acid reflux (laryngopharyngeal, "silent" reflux). The former is treated with a nasal steroid spray and saline sinus rinses. The latter with acid suppressing meds. Your doctor can help pin down a specific cause.

How to treat horrible dry sore throat, but no fever, cough, or sneezing and mild mucus drainage in the back of throat. I can barely swallow saliva. ?
3 doctor answers • 4 doctors weighed in
The sore throat is only when I swallow, because the gland is swollen and sore. It has been constant for 4 days. I cannot even swallow my saliva without flinching from the pain. No other major symptoms, no fever, my throat is clear and I have no cough?
