When you’re sensitive to pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mould, or other airborne allergens, your immune system reacts. It causes the mucous membranes to produce more mucus to trap the allergen, and often you get a drip of mucus down the back of your throat (post-nasal drip). Webmedy+1
This drip irritates the throat and leads to throat-clearing, coughing, or that constant “mucus in throat” feeling. Well Wisp
2. Infections & Sinus / Nasal Conditions
If you have a cold, sinusitis, bronchitis or other respiratory infection, inflammation in the nasal and throat tissues ramps up mucus production. That + impaired drainage = you feel phlegm. Webmedy+1
Even after the infection resolves, lingering post-nasal drip or sinus drainage can keep the sensation going. Verywell Health
3. Gastro-esophageal Reflux (GERD / LPR)
4. Smoking, Air Pollution & Irritants
Smoke and other irritants (cleaning sprays, chemical fumes, dry air) irritate the mucous membranes and damage the tiny hair-like cilia that help move mucus out of the airways. When clearance slows, mucus builds up. Webmedy+1
Chronic exposure means chronic mucus production. Wellness Wisdom Guide
5. Chronic Respiratory Conditions
Conditions like asthma, chronic bronchitis, COPD can cause long-term inflammation of the airways and excess thick mucus production. Cleveland Clinic+1
These often require more than simple home care.
6. Dehydration, Diet & Lifestyle Factors
If you’re not drinking enough fluids, your mucus can become thicker and harder to clear. Biology Insights+1
Also foods, dairy, fatty meals, or diet patterns may influence mucus in some people (though evidence is mixed). Webmedy
7. Structural Nasal/Sinus Issues
Deviated septum, nasal polyps, enlarged turbinates, or chronic sinus inflammation can interfere with drainage and lead to persistent throat mucus. homeremediesseasy.com
