A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reflux: Mucus in the throat after eating is often caused by acid reflux (laryngopharyngeal reflux or lpr). Other symptoms include throat clearing, bad taste in the mouth, vague throat soreness, and a sensation of something stuck in the throat. An ENT or GI doctor can do tests to evaluate you for this. You may use otc Prilosec or similar daily, but more aggressive treatment may be necessary to resolve it.
