Long standing ?: If this is a long-standing problem my approach to start would include chest x-ray, sinus x-ray, check for reflux, and possibly pulmonary function tests. In the meantime try a mucous thinning agents such as Mucinex (guaifenesin) or arm and hammer nasal saline wash.

How can you differentiate mucus from postnasal drip vs mucus from lungs when clearing throat? I don't have chronic cough, buy when I do cough to dislodge mucus in throat, it is nonproductive and sounds dry. I can also feel mucus draining down throat.
