Hello,

One of the symptoms faced by you is that of difficulty in chewing and swallowing.
Difficulty in chewing and swallowing could be due to some pathology in the esophagus.
I suggest you to consult your gastroenterologist for clinical assessment and endoscopy if required.
Mucus stuck between nose and throat is probably due to excessive nasal discharge.
I also suggest you to consult an ENT specialist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
