Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Healthcaremagic
Greetings of the day
Dear Ms

Belching of mucous is likely to be due to underlying Gastroesophageal reflux. If there are no other associated symptoms then there is no longer cause for concern.

I would suggest you the following

1 Warm Saline gargling : To a glass of lukewarm water add 2 spoons of common table salt. Gargle the throat with it thrice a day.

2. Antacid like Pantoprozole will be helpful

Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Take care
