Hello there. For the past 9-10 years, I have had a thick mucus buildup in my throat. I have gone to my doctor multiple times to diagnose it, and he always tells me that it is due to dry air. I turn my heaters down or rarely use them, and I leave my windows open. Even though I did this, the problem still persisted. I found out later, that when I drink whole milk the mucus build up increases, so I switched to fat free milk/skim milk, but the mucus problem still persisted. When I am at home, the mucus problem is at its worse, but when I am somewhere else, it does not even come up. There has not been a day where I have not coughed up mucus. My doctors tell me the same thing each time I visit them and prescribe the same medicine, but it does not help. When I run, I feel the same thing. My nose is also clogged with mucus, and when I blow it out there is sometimes blood in it. (I do not pick my nose.) Please help, I am tired of this affecting me,it is affecting my breathing. I do not smoke.
