I'm really worried because for the past three months, I've had this constant excess mucus in my throat. I feel like I need to clear my throat all the time, and sometimes it even gets sore or I'll have a cough with this sticky mucus. It's frustrating because my throat occasionally turns red too. I'm trying to understand what's going on, but I'm completely stumped. What could be causing this? Is there something specific I should be looking out for or trying to manage it?

That could be due to allergy, identify the triggering factor and avoid it, maintain healthy lifestyle.

I've had a sore and scratchy throat for the last four months. I've seen multiple ENT specialists, and each one gave me a different diagnosis one said acid reflux, but I don't feel any heartburn, another found ethmoid sinusitis on a CT scan and suggested post nasal drip as the cause. He prescribed meds for a month and mentioned sinus surgery if it didn't improve, but I didn't go back because I don't want surgery. The next ENT did another CT scan, which showed sinusitis and lymphadenitis, but he said everything was normal and it's just an infection. I don't feel normal though, and after searching online, I'm worried about long-term sore throat being linked to cancer. Could this just be an infection, or is there a chance it's something more serious?

A thorough ent check-up is advised to the patient,including endoscopy,and also a biopsy sample is taken to rule out malignancy .Ent opinion is advised.

I've noticed a kind of swelling behind my uvula that I can feel with my tongue. Could this be nasal polyps or something else? I've been kind of worried about it and could use some advice on what this might be.
