Same problem: I have used Mucinex (guaifenesin) and it helps clear the thick mucous. Also, a good strenuous excercise program can help you clear all the junk in your throat.

See an ENT doctor: You need a evaluation by an ENT doctor. There are several conditions that can cause this mucous production including allergies, sinusitis and acid reflux into your throat(lpr). In someone your age, adenoids can still be enlarged and cause these problems as well. A detailed history and examination will help establish the diagnosis.
