A member asked:
I have had thick yellow mucus in the back of my throat all year round, which can often be hard to clear and swallow. ?

See doc: It would be wise to have an ENT physician examine you. Post nasal drip, sinus infection and chronic pharyngitis should be considered and are treatabe. Increasing fluid intake will make the mucous less thick. Mucomyst, an over the counter medication may help thin the mucous also.
