Post nasal drip: Post nasal drip is a common cause of chronic cough and throat irritation. It will also cause feeling of mucus in your throat. I suggest talking with your with your doc about ways to help with the post nasal drip. We often employ nasal steroids (flonase and nasonex), antihistamines and things like neti pot. Best of luck!
