I've been having this cough on and off where I feel like something's stuck in my throat. Sometimes, when I cough, there are these tiny clear balls that come up. Its not constant, but it keeps coming back every few days, and I'm really tired of it. What could be causing this, and how can I get it to stop?

I'm feeling this weird tightness in the muscles under my chin and down to my throat. It's not really painful, and there's no lump, but it just doesn't feel right inside. It's not constantly there, and I can eat and swallow just fine. It doesn't seem like a typical muscle strain either. Is there anything I can try at home to help with this?
