Hello and welcome to HCM,
excessive accumulation in throat is due to excessive mucus production in nasal cavities or sinuses.
Chronic sinusitis is a condition wherein the sinuses are chronically infected and inflamed.
There is production of excessive quantities of mucus and post-nasal drip.
Post-nasal drip refers to draining of mucus from posterior part of nasal cavities and accumulation in the throat.
I suggest you to consult an ENT specialist for clinical assessment and X-ray of the para-nasal sinuses.
If there is haziness and cloudiness in the para-nasal sinuses, treatment of chronic sinusitis is required.

Thanks and take care
