[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Forum. Since you mentioned that you are an asthmatic patient. Please, mention the duration of asthma, you are having and also mention the treatment. Asthma also lower the immunity of the patient, hence an asthmatic patient become prone to infection. This infection develops (helps in formation of expectoration or mucus) in mucus formation which is usually very sticky (as you are feeling in your throat). 2nd thing there develops post nasal discharge due to infection & asthma (the uneasiness, you are feeling is due to this). In my opinion bronchodilator + antihistamine will provide relief.  I prescribe albuterol + montelukast in such type of cases. Hot saline gargles also helps. Mind it at least 10 -12 days will require for adjustment of Chat Doctor.  Consult your treating physician and get his advice before any treatment. If possible upload X-ray of chest. Good luck.
