Question: what does it mean when you feel like you have mucus stuck in your throat?
Answer: Postnasal drip The sinuses, throat, and nose all produce mucus that a person usually swallows unconsciously. When mucus starts to build up or trickle down the back of the throat, the medical name for this is postnasal drip. Causes of postnasal drip include infections, allergies, and acid reflux.
