white mucus in throat

[aaron5]

for the past week ive had a throat problem, it feels like i have something stuck in the back of my throat and it wont go away, i thought it might be allergies ive taken mucinex d extra strength, generic claritin and nose spray and nothing has really helped, ive had alot of burping and when i eat it feels like a piece of food gets stuck in my throat, i havent had trouble breathing but its just aggravating ive gone to the doctors and my doctor said i didnt have strep throat and my doctor thought i might have Gerd but i dont have any heart burn and when i burp it doesnt really bother my throat, ive taken ant acids and they dont help much. ive been able to cough up white sort of clumpy mucus. i feel fine otherwise could someone help?

i pulled a muscle in my throat about seven years ago and when i get nervous it feels like it's swollen. i cant eat alot because it feels like the food is getting stuck in my throat. I also have sinus problems so i would like to know if this could be the cause.

From a doctor in the UK -- Try Gaviscon Liquid, as other antacids may dry out your throat and make it worse.  Hats off to silkysoft, a poster who provided this tip.
