A member asked:
I have a yellowish patch in the back of my throat behind my uvula. i have been congested for a while...could this just be mucus or something else?

Post nasal drip: Yes, if you are seeing yellow mucus at the back of your throat it could be post nasal drip from your congestion. It should go away when your illness resolves. You can try decongestants and salt water gargles to see if it goes away. If it doesn't improve in about a week or two then get it checked.
