Mucus and discomfort in the throat: What can I do?

@mr1964 Sorry your having discomfort in your throat. I do at times but blame it on my inhaler ,but I found gargling with Listerine help also Vicks throat drops help and they taste good too. Best wishes

Hi everyone,

I wanted to bring this discussion back because mucus and throat discomfort are symptoms that many people with COPD experience, yet they can be surprisingly difficult to manage. What works well for one person may not work for another, so sharing our experiences can be really helpful.

• Have you experienced persistent mucus or throat discomfort with your COPD? What does it feel like for you?
• Have you found anything that helps, whether it's staying hydrated, breathing exercises, medications, airway clearance techniques, or something else?
• Do you notice that your symptoms are worse at certain times of the day, during particular seasons, or when you have a flare-up?
