What Causes Mucus In Throat While Eating?
Everytime I eat or drink anything I always have a mucus build up in the back of my throat. I can never clear it and it can get really bad. After I throw up it seems to get a little better though. I went to a doctor about a year ago and he did an x-ray of my throat to see it there were any pockets or something that the food would catch in but everything was fine. What could this be?

Hello,
This sensation is very common in Laryngopharyngeal Reflux.. And easily treatable too. Just make sure you don't do forceful clearing of the throat.Its just a sensation and you will get the same again... Pls Consult an ENT,who will examine your larynx and treat you accordingly
