having excessive mucus in espophogus?

Question

I recently got the flu or it could of been just a common cold. When I woke up this morning I felt like I had a marble stuck in my esophogus. Ive been spitting a lot. My mouth has alot of mucus in it. So a few hours ago I winded up throwing up and saw that their was mucus in the throw up. I turned up side down and felt it moving towards my throat....so I went in the bathroom and made myself start throwing it up and for a sec it will feel like it's gone, but its not...it's just so much and i don't know where it all came from. It feel very uncomfortable. I need to find a way to get rid of it. Does anybody know?

Answer 1

Gargle with very warm salt water (one tsp per 8 oz.). Nothing beats saline for breaking up mucus.
