Is it an infection? Is it an allergy? Is it from smoking? You have throat drainage and you don't know what's causing it.According to The American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, Glands in your nose and throat continually produce mucus (one to two quarts a day). Mucus moistens and cleans the nasal membranes, humidifies air, traps and clears inhaled foreign matter, and fights infection. Although it is normally swallowed unconsciously, the feeling of it accumulating in the throat or dripping from the back of your nose is called post-nasal drip. This sensation can be caused by excessively thick secretions or by throat muscle and swallowing disorders.Listen in as Steven Lyon, MD explains that often times throat drainage can be caused by an underlying ENT issue.
