I'm finding that there's this continuous buildup of mucus in my throat, and I have to clear it a lot. It's kind of uncomfortable and I'm starting to get a little worried about it. Is this something I should be concerned about? What could be causing it, and is there anything I can do to get rid of it?

I'm really puzzled about this weird feeling I've had in my throat for the past month after recovering from COVID. It's like something's stuck there, but it's not painful or irritating. It doesn't seem to be getting any better or worse, just kind of the same most days. Though I do notice it's more prominent in the evenings or when I'm lying down. It's strange because I don't have any trouble breathing, eating, or drinking, and if anything, swallowing food feels good. I tried antacids and PPIs for about three weeks, but they didn't help at all. I've been extra careful, eating boiled food and avoiding anything spicy because a little spice makes my stomach burn. I'm 21, and I really can't stop thinking about this. Is there something serious going on, or is this just some lingering after-effect I shouldn't worry too much about? What do you think it could be?

No need to worry that could be mucosal congestion it will self heal consume warm foods and maintain healthy lifestyle.
