HI,
For the past few days i have had a like of congestion and thick mucus(yellow) that feels like it's sitting in my throat and i have to constantly try to cough it up in order for the tight feeling in my throat to go away... I have been taking Dayquil but it hasn't inproved. Is there anything else i can take to help clear this up?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having pharyngitis giving irritation to throat giving this problem.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course like Azithromicin for 3-5 days.
Do salt water gargling.
Suck throat lozenges.
Avoid cold drinks and junk food.
Ok and take care.
