I am suffering from anxiety now days due to quarantine and it becomes worst because mucus/ phelgum blocked the nose again & again with itchy and thirsty throat. When I take steam and drink hot water my phelgum released through both nose and mouth then I feel relaxed. Feeing stuffy nose also. When I am in my room, I feel always anxious and when I go outside I feel relaxed. Yesterday I had montair - lc suggested by local doctor for allergy in throat. It makes my throat itching relaxed. But for mucus and phelgum make me panic .is it a post nasal drip or something else. please guide me medicine also. I am not suffering from mucus / phelgum for first time. But to corona virus .it makes me more anxious.

It is nothing but anxiety associated with some obsessive symptoms. Do breathing exercises and aerobic exercises. Occupy yourself with movies and books. If you still have problems, you may need medicines. Best of luck.

You need to take treatment from both ent to reduce the phlegm and mucus and psychiatrist to reduce your anxiety and worry about the same. Good luck.

You have mentioned mucus and phelgm, this can be due to sinusitis. You did not mention any other symptoms of corona virus infection. Worry about corona can cause anxiety and this can result in difficulty in breathing, dry mouth or throat. Excessive worry can lead to misinterpretation of your harmless symptoms to corona infection. Restrict your time on body scanning and indulge in relaxing activities. Reassure your self that your symptoms are most likely not due to corona .if still anxious consult for further counseling.
