A member asked:

Sometimes when my throat is dry in the morning, i have brown mucus in my throat(i don't have any infection)when i spit it out, the dryness gets better?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bedside humidifier: perhaps a bedside humidifier will help, however, you may have nasal obstruction or a low grade infection/inflammation. try irrigating with saline (purchased over the counter) for your nose.
