What Could Cause Chronic Cough And Continuous Production Of Mucus, There Are No Known Allergies?

» Ear, Nose and Throat ProblemsMucus on throat, taken antibiotics, runny nose, coughing
I have had mucus on my throat for around 2 months now. I believe it is being caused by snot running down from my nose onto my throat. I have tried anti-biotics; decongestant nasal spray; Vit-C; Despite all the above, I am still getting a runny nose and Mucus on my throat that causes a constant cough that means I am having to expel mucus from my throat all day and night. I feel fit and well. I have no known allergies.

Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post suggest that you might be having Allergic tracheo-bronchitis.
Examination of the throat using a laryngoscope and X ray of the chest will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis.

Management includes:
1.Antihistamine preparations like Allegra & Cough expectorant syrup for symptomatic relief.
2. Montelukast preparations- used as a maintenance therapy.
3. A course of antibiotics may be taken to prevent secondary bacterial attack.
4. Maintain adequate hydration & take a healthy balance diet.
5. Also make sure that you are well protected from cold, dust & other allergens.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
