How Can Throat Congestion Be Treated?

I have constant clear/white mucus stuck in my throat and I can t seem to get rid off it, after it is gone more appears, over and over again in a never ending cycle I ve tried hot drinks gastro relux tablets, all sorts of stuff and it just won t go away no matter how hard I try, it s hard to sleep at night because it s always there and it blocks my airways and it s difficult to cough out I sip water all night and make hot drinks I have tried eating spicy food steam inhalation hot showers and herbal teas but it still dosent go away, some times it s not so bad but then suddenly i can t breathe and I will be clearing my throat on and off for 7 hours, it s worse after I eat or when I lie down and usually it s worse and night, although changing my diet dosent seem to help ether

Hi welcome to the health care magic

You are having upper respiratory tract infection..

Most of them are usually viral...

Continue steam inhalation, green tea and warm drinking water...

In addition you might prescribed decongestant like phenylephrine for relieving congestion...

Daily take one tsp ginger juice with one tsp honey...

Avoid excess spicy foods and fatty meals

If symptoms not improves than suitable antibiotic needs to be given..

Vitamin C lozenges can be taken daily...

I would like to advise you to consult physician for your Auscultation of respiratory tract and get prescription
