Mucus in Throat
Abnormal amounts of mucus in my throat. Problem has existed for as long as I can remember. Usually cough up thick yellowy/green strands of it in the morning. During a cold I can sometimes cough up thick clumps of it, one-time brown, but that was a long time ago.
During exercise, more is produced. Can give me trouble breathing while exercising. I have a history of asthma but has not affected me since I was 5. I do not take an inhaler.
First of all you have to culture your mucus in your throat.. then start on antibiotics and mucolytics.. since ur having it for a long time a CT CHEST MAY BE ADVISED. U must also make your ur sinus areas are patent n all.. u might have some problem with your muco ciliary mechansim..
Regular breathing exercises are proven to be effective..
Advised to consult a pulmonologist
Hope this advise is useful
