Hi , have a feeling of thick spit in my throat . what could be the cause ?

Several: This could arise from dehydration (not drinking enough water), sinus drainage from allergy or infection, productive cough. If you are a smoker, lack of cilia activity to clear the lung can also cause this. Drink more water. Good luck
