What Causes Throat Discomfort?
I woke up with a lot of glop in my throat. Almost gagged me and it feels like it s stuck there. When I coughed nothing came up, but if I brought it up and spit it out it s thick white. What is it? I have a humidifier and I had a major nose bleed in February . Thank you.

Hello
Sometimes such things can happen with throat due to collection of post-nasal drip. This can happen as a result of allergic reaction.
Kindly do salt water gargling twice daily. Also, you can take steam inhalation at bedtime. Drink a glass of warm water before sleep. Consume lozanges to relieve throat congestion when necessary.
By above measures, you should be able to overcome the problem.
