Try these simple home remedies to get rid of mucous in the throat -  
  • Encourage yourself to eliminate mucus, as suppressing it will cause blockage of mucus in the lungs.
  • Mix ginger powder in honey and make a thick paste take this 3- 4 times in a day.
  • To loosen this mucus build up in the back of your throat a effective cure would be taking hot water steam regularly with added vaporizer or carom seeds.


    This will also help to open your blocked nose and help soothe your throat.
  • Hot water gargles with added salt would also help to loosen the mucus build up and ease your condition.
  • Increase the consumption of fluids in the form of boiled water, vegetable soups, broths that will help to moisten and thin mucus and soothe throat.


     
  • Add ½ tsp turmeric and ½ tsp salt to a cup of milk, boil and drink this twice daily.
  • Limit the consumption of dairy products as they are more mucus forming. Also make a note of other food stuff that you are allergic to, and avoid its consumption.
  • Avoid smoking; even passive smoke inhalation can worsen the infection.
