Hi,
Yes I have little nasal congestion but not too much. As I mentioned I do get cold and all but this is first time I am getting so much mucus in my throat.

Brief Answer:
Post nasal drip???
Detailed Answer:
It would have been better had you answered all my question. Based on the information provided, it suggest you might be suffering with post nasal drip, a condition associated with nasal pathology like sinusitis. I will encourage you to visit an ENT surgeon.
In the meanwhile, I will suggest you try steam inhalation along with antihistamine like tab levocetrizine 5mg once at night for a week and see if you feel better.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarification.
