Hello, Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum. Clogged ears, cough. mucus ( expectoration) , feeling something stuck in throat ,breathlessness all these symptoms may be due to, 1 Allergic asthmatic bronchitis as in this there develops , whistling ( wheezing) sound during breathing, post nasal discharge (due to this patient feels that there is sticky material behind roof of mouth or in throat) , breathlessness (more due to exertion.Diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination by a physician. 2 Since mucus present so this may be due to Bronchiectasis , usually copious sputum present as far as known to me coffee (hot) will provide some relief but this is not a treatment .Diagnosis can be confirmed by X ray chest and physical examination by a physician. Since you got infection and in my opinion only home remedy provide relief not treatment . Good luck. Dr. HET
