2. Antacid medications
Many people, especially over the age of 40, are expected antacid medications or proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) to treat their reflux. However, these medications only relieve stomach acid, making the problem worse in the long run.
Natural solution:
Apply apple cider vinegar as mentioned above, and consider taking 5 to 10 capsules of betaine hydrochloride before meals to enhance digestion and boost the stomach valve.
3. Postnasal drip
Another popular cause of excess mucus is postnasal drip, where mucus drains from the sinuses into the back of the throat. This can be resulted by a sinus infection caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, or yeast. The result is a chronic sinus infection that persists, accompanied by coughing, a feeling of a lump in the throat, or a constant urge to clear your throat.
