Mouth breathing due to enlarged adenoids can sometimes be treated with medication, but surgery (adenoidectomy) is often recommended for severe cases or if other treatments fail

Question

I've been feeling like there's always mucus in my throat for the past few months, and I usually end up spitting it out. Lately, I've noticed that it feels like I might throw up in the mornings because of it. I'm also wondering if it might be getting stuck somewhere in my chest. Can you help me understand what's going on?
