A member asked:

Tried lots of medication still have musus in throat. i'm worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May be reflux: Many people with sensation of mucus chronically stuck in the throat are experiencing laryngeal reflux. If you have not already, try an OTC acid-blocking medicine such as Prilosec or Prevacid (lansoprazole). If symptoms show no sign of improvement, see your MD.
