Hi
I've got lots of sticky mucus stuck in my throat - always hoarse and keep clearing my throat.
I tried carbocisteine and mullein leaf but they don't seem to help
Do mucus removal devices help?
Any suggestions please?

You and me both.. really thick mucus in my throat and voice comes and goes. I have tried the mullein leaf and that did nothing. Constantly coughing trying to clear it out. If anyone knows how to get rid of it I will be delighted, I’m currently trying a decongestant more in hope than expectation.
I have a positive breathing device but it didn’t make any difference.
What sort of decongestant ? Sudafed ? Does it help?
Over the counter decongestants can exacerbate the problem if you use them for more than 3 or 4 days and you can get rebound problems that are then really difficult to treat. Use them long term and you can damage your sinuses.
Any prescribed steroid nasal spray is usually good for decongestdecongestants the sinuses if used regularl I found this ENT consultant's YouTube video really useful (he makes really good vids for ENT problems).
Yes they help me. I have both the Air Physio and Aerobika (which was prescribed at the hospital). Both good.
Yes trying Sudafed..phenylephrine.12.2 mg capsules in the morning. Only just started.
My mucus and additional coughing trying to clear my throat, also started after Covid in February.
I also tried different antihistamines, they didn't do much, wondering if I should have persisted...
In addition to my post about nasal sprays above, I gargle to help my throat when I'm struggling with a sore throat or mucus. Some find salt water helpful but I use Listerine.
