3. Adjust your diet
Diet can influence mucus production. Highly processed foods and excessive sugar consumption can increase mucus production, while fruits and vegetables provide antioxidants and vitamins that boost the immune system. Vitamin C-rich foods help reduce inflammation, and spicy foods can temporarily open the airways and clear a stuffy throat.
4. Gargle with warm salt water
Gargling with salt water is a traditional and effective method. It soothes throat irritation, loosens mucus, and relieves the constant urge to clear the throat. Repeated several times a day, this can significantly improve symptoms.
