I have a cold but all of the mucus builds up at the bottom of my throat by my neck so all i do is constantly clear, how can i stop this. ?

Ans: You must irrigate the sinus. Hot fluids will help you. Also you could use Benadryl (diphenhydramine) to dry the sinus. But you are best to irrigate them with hot fluids. The nasal sprays can be helpful. Rest hydrate and don't smoke
