Always have mucus in your throat — and nothing seems to clear it? You're not imagining it, and you're probably not doing anything "wrong" on purpose. The problem is that the most common habits people reach for to fix throat mucus are often the very things keeping it there. In this video, Dr. Laura Chen walks through five everyday mistakes — constant throat clearing, overusing decongestant sprays, cutting out dairy, drinking too little water, and eating late before lying down — and explains the simple model that ties them all together, plus exactly what to do instead.
This is general health education, not medical advice, and it is not a diagnosis. Always speak with your doctor or pharmacist before stopping or changing any medication, and see a clinician promptly if you notice any of the warning signs covered near the end.
