Constant mucus
I am having slight mucus in the back of my throat for a few months now. But there is usually no coughing. Although when I go swimming, I am having excessive sneezing and runny nose. Is it a disease or is it normal?

Hi. I understand your concern s. You will need to undergo a detailed examination and investigation. You are probably having allergy. Consult a pulmonologist/qualified allergist for the same at the earliest

In your condition the sneezing and runny nose could be due to either chlorine allergy, poor water quality or poor ventilation. Drink about 4 liters of water a day to ease clearing of secretions from the throat. When there is not sufficient water in your body, thick mucus forms which can be difficult to cough out and has that sensation of being stuck back of your throat.
Next Steps
Consider changing your swimming location, if the problem persists then get a pulmonologist consultation to look for airway hyper reactivity.
