Mucus in the throat can have many causes. Sources in the nose include irritation of the nose, sinus infections, allergies. Reflux of gastric contents and some throat infections can also lead to the same type of symptoms. Your son should be examined by a physician. His tongue lesions can be examined at the same time. Good luck.
