Dr. Carlos:
In today's world, it has become quite common for people to experience symptoms like cough and rhinitis. These issues have become normalized due to factors such as pollution, frequent travel, and the stress of daily life. However, in this video, we'll delve deeper into the problem of excessive mucus in the throat to help you better understand its causes and solutions.

One potential reason you might be dealing with throat mucus is dehydration. It's important to recognize that hydration isn't solely about drinking water; it also depends on minerals like sodium, potassium, and magnesium, which facilitate the passage of water from your intestines into your cells.

When faced with throat mucus, it's crucial to determine whether it stems from a bacterial or viral infection. Many individuals mistakenly reach for antibiotics when experiencing symptoms resembling a cold, but this can contribute to antibiotic resistance. Notably, the color and odor of mucus can provide clues. Greenish mucus may indicate a bacterial infection, especially if it's dark green, yellow, or foul-smelling. However, this isn't a reason to self-medicate, as consulting a doctor is essential for proper diagnosis and treatment.

An irritated throat is another common factor contributing to excess mucus. Factors such as dry air from air conditioning or smoking and vaping can lead to throat irritation and persistent coughing, especially when lying down.

Reflux is often a chronic issue behind throat mucus. Many individuals with reflux are unaware because they don't experience typical heartburn symptoms. Instead, they may have symptoms like coughing, particularly when lying down or at night.

Understanding how your digestive system should function is crucial. The stomach's pH should typically range from 1 to 2, and the proper closure of the valve separating the stomach from the esophagus relies on acidity. When this valve fails to close properly, stomach contents can flow back into the esophagus, leading to irritation and, when lying down, even reaching the mouth and nasal passages.

It's essential to assess your own condition and recognize that excessive throat mucus is not normal. By understanding the causes and taking the appropriate steps, you can find relief from this uncomfortable issue.
