Real Causes of Mucus in the Throat and How to Get Rid of It

Did you know that acid reflux can cause throat mucus? When stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, it irritates the throat, leading to excessive mucus production.

🔹 Signs of acid reflux-induced mucus:

• A burning sensation in the chest (heartburn)
• Hoarseness or voice changes
• Feeling like there’s a lump in your throat

3. Dehydration 💧

When you’re not drinking enough water, mucus thickens and becomes harder to clear from your throat. Dehydration can lead to a sticky and uncomfortable mucus buildup.

🔹 Signs you need to hydrate more:

• Dry mouth and throat
• Thick saliva
• Dark yellow urine

4. Respiratory Infections 🦠
