Hi
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic,

Most likely you are having Upper respiratory tract infection causing unproductive mucous. As per your question, No most likely the mucous has nothing to do with your stomach ulcer.Take a decongestant for few days along with an expectorant,This will help to expectorate the mucus stuck in your throat.
Thanks.
