salt water for gargling and citrus, particularly lemons to bust up the mucus. a salt water flush would also be good , as i am suspicious that you are dehydrated.

I have the same problem, especially in winter when I tend to easily become dehydrated. Trapper's salt water gargle will help remove the thick mucus. I wanted to suggest a mucus removal fast that really helps me when things get very bad. Its very simple to do, but you do need three days where you can be at home for the most comfortable results. Every morning drink two cups of prune juice. For the rest of the day alternate drinking pure water and apple juice. Do not eat any solid food at all. However, if you simply cannot fast, you can try eating a few raw apples chewed until they are liquid in your mouth. This fast helps push mucus out of the body. While you are doing this, it helps to keep a vaporizer going so the steam can help loosen mucus in the sinuses. This is a rigorous three days, but the results will last a long time. If you discover the foods that tend to produce the most mucus in your system, then you can either reduce or eliminate them altogether.

Remember that mucus is a natural and necessary part of our system, without it we would die. The thing is to produce only the mucus we need for proper digestion, breathing, lubrication, and elimination. The excess, caused from some factor that irritates the body and causes even more mucus to be produced, is what we must learn how to control.

Rick...For a quick fix...make you a broth, chicken or whatever...and add lots of
cayenne pepper.(As much as you can stand) If you can...even add hot peppers, cayenne or whatever you like...to your foods for at least today.

You can also hold your head over a sink of hot water....and those sinuses will open
up and it will drain on out.

Either of these will help immediately...but if you do both...you'll see a miracle
within minutes.

In the meantime...leave off all mucous causing foods, dairy, sugar, etc.

I'm In a rush...but try this...it should fix you right up.

I have the same thing. This started happening maybe a week ago. It seems to get progressively worse as night approaches. That is due to a panic attack. I have recently seen a ENT and he is going to perform a swallow study and a procedure where they numb your nose and throat and out a camera down it to see what is going on. They have given me every antihistamine but that drys me out. It is thick and needs 2 get thin so I can get it out. Try Musinex but not the DM. Just straight Musinex.Let me know if u went 2 the dr and found anything out

I've used a neti pot with huge success. Also try gargling ( with your head tilted all the way back ) with a solution of raw organic apple cider vingegar several times until what you spit out is without mucus in it.

hi, I noticed this message is 7 years old but I am suffering same thing since last 2 or 3 years, I have also gerd, sinus.doctors couldn't do anything.what happened to you did you get cure?I hope you did. Are you alive? Please let me know?

hi,
I know this message is 7 years old but I wanna know what happened to you ?are you still alive ? Did you get cure?please tell me because I am suffering from same condition since 2 or 3 years I have GERD and sinus prb too .it is very hard to live with this condition. Please help me !!

I just joined curezone & saw your question. I have the same problem, used the q-tip but I was afraid I'd get it stuck in my throat. I bought long tweezers which helped.I was getting chronic sinus infections. So, every year my ENT did surgery to clean out my sinuses. Dr also gave me a Neilmed sinus rinse to use with warm water & salt 2x a day. Yes it did help but I get sick on salt. That rinse is the only thing that helped. I didn't like it, I get sick on salt. As far as being dehydrated I was told to stop drinking so much water. I drink almost a gallon of water everyday. I didn't like it. I hope this helps.

this is caused because of acid reflux

I know this thread started a long time ago, but I though I'd give it a try anyway. I have much the same problem and have for a number of years. I've had two sinus surgeries and the second one was a complete failure - the surgeon removed all of my turbinates leaving my sinuses too open and they dry totally out - but at least I don't get sinus infections nearly as often as I used to, just sniffle all the time. This was about 14 years ago. My problem got MUCH worse after a year long bout with sinus infections and bronchitis last year and never got much better once I kicked those. Now when I blow my nose not much comes out, but I have to sniff hard, then swallow to get the thick mucus to go down, which is immediately replaced by more. It's embarrassing because I work with the public so I know they notice. It's worse when I'm lying down. I've tried mucines, but it only helps a little. Makes it a little thinner, but there's just as much. My current ENT can't figure out why this is going on. Anyone have any suggestions for things I can do to reduce this, especially at work?

Coconut oil stopped mine.1 teaspoon per day Nutiva brand at GNC $15.00 for a months supply solid at room temperature but it melts in your mouth. Pleasant coconut taste if you like coconut. I started taking coconut oil for memory and it stopped mucus in my throat. It took me 45 years to find help with this. I'm 90% better. I don't have to clear my throat continuously. Such relief!

how did you end up getting rid of that?? I have the same problem and I was just sick recently with bronchitis..don't know if that had anything to do with it. but it just seems like there is something stick in my throat and like you said it goes slowly down when I eat but then back up again. I know this was almost 10 years ago but I'm desperate. Thanks!
