I get a discomfort feeling in my throat to the point where i start trying to clear my throat which leads to hacking and eventually this dime sized thick mucus comes outI have been to the doctor and have been on allergy meds and i just dont think its allergies bc ive been doing this for over a year. For a week now ive been sniffing back and then trying to hack up something which has now left the right side of my throat sore and the right ear with alot of pressure .Can you please tell me what is going on and what the best otc medicine would be?
