Mucus build-up in the throat is unpleasant, annoying and sometimes stays longer than expected. You'd rather get rid of it as soon as possible than let it run its course, but you don't really know how. Read on to learn more about how to get rid of mucus and sputum from your throat.

To step

Method 1 of 4: The first concern

1. Clear your throat of mucus or sputum by coughing or coughing. If excess mucus has accumulated in the throat, coughing can help clear the throat. Go to the bathroom and try to loosen the phlegm from the throat wall by coughing and vomiting up phlegm.
2. Be aware that pregnancy can also cause excessive mucus production. While there's nothing you can do about this, it's comforting to know that at least your increased mucus production won't last forever.
3. Consider whether mucus on your tongue could be thrush. If the excess mucus appears to be on the back of your tongue, it could be a sign of thrush caused by candida. You will also see the following symptoms:
   • White sores on your tongue, inner cheeks, gums, tonsils, and palate
   • Redness
   • Burning
   • Pain
   • Loss of taste
   • The feeling that you have cotton wool in your mouth
