Question 3

I've been dealing with this issue for the past month where I'm coughing up this jelly-like mucus. It's really sticky and gets stuck in my throat, so I'm always trying to clear it out. I think it might be related to some gastric problems, but my lungs seem okay since I can run and walk without any problems. Do you have any suggestions or ideas on what might be going on? I've got some pictures of the mucus that I can show.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you might be experiencing post-nasal drip or mucus production related to gastric reflux. While your lungs seem unaffected, I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider to check for conditions like acid reflux or sinus issues. In the meantime, staying hydrated and avoiding triggers like spicy foods may help.
