I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Wherever it's produced, mucus is a mix of water and proteins, and most of it gets pushed to the back of your throat by microscopic hairs called cilia. Whether you're aware of it or not, you're constantly swallowing all this mucus, and it harmlessly ends up in your stomach. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
