Need to clear throat frequently
I feel like clearing my throat frequently throughout the day. I drink warm water fluids it gives relief for some time but again I feel that there is mucus collected in my throat which I keep on clearing. I am wearing aligners and my mouth remains dry because of that. There is no soreness no itching no pain no lump feeling. It only feels like mucus is there and I need to clear the throat ( gala baith Gaya hai)
