➡️ 1. Laryngopharyngeal Reflux
This is one of the primary causes of that nagging sensation that makes you feel like you constantly need to clear your throat. It occurs when stomach acid moves upwards instead of downwards and ends up accumulating in the back of your throat.

➡️ 2. Post-Nasal Drainage
This is, as the name suggests, literally where drainage from the nose travels down and accumulates in the back of the throat. The cause of this could stem either from allergies or from your sinuses and the treatment really depends on which one it is.

➡️ 3. Food Allergies
That's correct, it is very possible for increased mucus production to stem from food that your body is allergic to. Some common culprits include dairy products, wheat, gluten, and even eggs in some cases. One would need to undergo proper testing in order to see which foods you are allergic to in order to determine the root cause.

➡️ 4. Infection
That feeling of congestion is a common side effect that comes from a virus or infection such as the common cold. When the body is sick, to fight the illness, it creates more mucus which creates that feeling of congestion and makes it more difficult to breathe.

➡️ 5. Respiratory Conditions
Respiratory diseases and conditions such as asthma, COPD, chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, and cystic fibrosis are all known to cause increased mucus production in the lungs.

🟦 1. Take the Right Medications
The most effective way to get rid of mucus is to take the medications that are prescribed directly by your doctor. This is especially true for those who have underlying respiratory conditions.

🟦 2. Drink Plenty of Fluids
You probably grew up hearing your parents tell you to drink plenty of water every time you were sick or had a cold. It may sound cliche, but they were 100% correct because it actually does help improve the functionality of pretty much all the major systems of the body. 

🟦 3. Take a Hot Bath or Shower
In this case, the main benefit is to inhale the steam that is produced by warm water. Steam acts as a natural way to help break up and get rid of mucus because it consists of tiny liquid aerosol particles that are suspended within the air.

🟦 4. Keep Your Allergies Under Control
Not only can seasonal allergies cause a runny nose, itchy throat, and watery eyes, they can also cause excessive amounts of mucus and phlegm to build up as well.

🟦 5. Gargle Warm Salt Water
This is a classic home remedy that feels nice and can help get rid of mucus that has accumulated in the back of your throat.

🟦 6. Avoid Irritants
Things like pollution, chemicals, and even certain fragrances can trigger the body to produce excessive amounts of mucus.

🟦 7. Eat Foods That Are Good for the Respiratory System
Anecdotal studies found that certain foods and drinks can be very effective in getting rid of mucus and phlegm.
