Advice:
Nasal Congestion?
Watch this 
View More Posts Ignore
I feel like I have mucus stuck in the back of my throat. It drives me bananas. My nose is not congested at all and my sinus cavities dont feel tender when pressed on. Some of the muscus that comes up is very thick and sometimes has a hard ball of mucus. Does anyone know what this is or had anyone experienced this?

" I am the same way, all the time whether I have any other symptoms or not. I think it's just the sinuses draining.
I find my long hot shower in the mornings helps some.
Also I have never tried the Neti Pot, but my doctor just gave me a different version to try. You squirt it instead of pouring it. I hope to try it this week and see if it helps. "

" Try eliminating dairy and alcohol. That may clear it up some. "
