I have a mucus (or something) that's constantly stuck in the back of my throat...?

Question

It's creating this constant crackle when I sing and it's really annoying...do you know of anything I can do to get rid of it? I've honestly been like, hacking and drinking water for the past half-hour...oh, and please don't suggest anything with tea...I hate tea...D:<

Answer 1

visit with an ENT specialist. You may have a polyp or growth on the soft palate or in the naso phayrnx. Get an expert opinion as soon as possible

Answer 2

I agree with the other answers. If its severe, see a doctor. You cant really go wrong there.

Also, no dairy and nothing chewy and gummy. Both bring up muscus. As for water, if its too cold or too warm, itll bring up mucus.so be careful what temperature the water is that your drinking. it should be at room temp.

As much as you hate it, tea is a very good idea. Herbal tea only though. Perhaps try a new flavor of tea. I hate some teas and adore others. Also, my voice teacher often recommends natural honey and lemon juice mixed. Not the tastiest thing, but effective. The citrus dries out the mucus and the honey coats the throat. If you need immediate help on the throat, like you have a performance coming up, Throat Coat is the way to go. Also, if you cough up mucus, spit it out. Make sure not to swallow it back, it does nothing to aid you and can sometimes cause chest congestion.

Hope you feel better, and remember to get to a doctor!

Answer 3

Go to a doctor. If it's really mucus, you'll get a recommendation. If it's just irritation, the professionals do indeed use tea. It's calle Throat Coat and it's made by Traditional Medicinals.

Hacking and clearing the throat causes the irritation to get worse.

hey (: cool your a singer amazing well yeah this has happend to me many times and it is pretty hard to get it out.Water may,may help a bit but don't take so much!! cough and cough and cough it out until it comes out that will help.Yes it is very annoying.But if it doesn't come out,ask someone to lift u upside down and then cough again that will help.Bt remember not too much preasure.Then it will come out but try coughig a few times before going upside down it will be easier.If it does not come out after going up-sidedown try cough mixture,its a medicine that will relief your throat.You can get that from the pharmacy.Well good luck then but don't worry its a small matter.Take care and happy singing!!!!(: oh and if it still does not come out see consult a doctor its the BEST!! but i'm sure u'll be fine take care

Answer 5

Cut out the dairy. If you already have a congestion or phlegm problem it will make it worse. The main dairy you need to cut is milk and cheese. Especially the day of a preformance.

SEE A DOCTOR! You conceivably could be suffering from all sorts of conditions; vocal nodules, tumor, tonsilitis, inner ear infection, adenoiditis, chronic sinus infection, and more. Only a medical professional will have the tools and knowledge to diagnose and treat.
