Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I had gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Frequent clearing of throat and mucus could be due to post nasal drip of sinus pathology.
I recommend the following.
1) A course of antibiotics.
2) Antihistaminic like levocetrizine with montelukast.
3) Steam inhalation to promote sinus ventilation and improve sinus drainage.
4) Avoid smoking as this might aggravate this condition. If you are non smoker kindly ignore this suggestion.

You will be fine.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have have any questions, I am happy to help you.

Wish you a speedy recovery and good health.

Regards,
Dr.Paparaja S MBBS, MS
