I have had this for YEARS and it's so frustrating. I've been to the docs and tried the sprays but nothing works. I also don't feel comfortable snorting something every day! I have a neti pot and while I admit I don't do it every night, when I have done I don't notice a difference. Anyone else suffer from this? If so does doing the neti pot daily really help? People around me are so bothered by my constant throat clearing. Wondering if anyone has any natural solutions?

I've been getting p.n.d. lately bc of allergies and the neti pot really does help....A LOT!!!!!<br><br>
Lately I've been using it about 2-3 times a day, I normally do it in the shower so pretty much everytime I shower. I found that the steam from a hot shower helps break up the mucus. When I get super congested I use an ear bulb to irrigate, I do it with my head side ways and leaning back so the warm saline drains to the back of my throat and I can spit it out.<br><br>
I use a lot of sea salt and the warmest water I can stand.<br><br>
Also not sure if you are vegan, but eating dairy products can make the mucus way worse so avoid those. Also soy is a mucus forming food, its a good idea to stay away from soy too.
