Brief Answer:
Post nasal drip

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome again to HealthcareMagic
The continuous mucous in the throat is most commonly due to either a nasal pathology or pharyngitis.
You should get a xray paranasal sinuses done and send me the picture of your throat.
Take tablet levocetrizine plus psuedophedrine twice daily and tablet vitamins c once daily.
Continue with mucinex .
Take cefixime 200 twice daily.
Take all for a week.
All the medicine prescribed by me will be available only on prescription.
These will definitely help you with symptoms.
Follow up with the required information so that I can suggest you better.
Take care
Thanks and regards
