A member asked:

I think i have mucus stuck in my throat. each time i swallow it feels like it just moves back up. feeling like this for 3 days. how do i fix this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many options: Thick mucus drainage is the back of the throat is often from sinusitis or allergies. So treating them will often help. Performing nasal irrigations is great first step to get relief fast.
