I'm really worried because for almost two years now, it feels like a lot of mucus is just building up in my mouth and throat, and it's like I constantly have to clear my throat. But lately, the past month or so, I've been feeling this burning sensation down my throat, especially when I breathe, and it's super bothersome. My throat and chest also feel really congested. I haven't had a fever, but it's been going on for so long now. What could be causing this?

I've been dealing with this constant itchiness in my throat, and it's really getting on my nerves. I have no idea what's causing it or how to get rid of it. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on and how I can ease it?

For itchy throat relief, try gargling with warm salt water, sipping on warm tea or broth, sucking on lozenges or cough drops, and staying hydrated; if the itchiness persists, consider consulting a healthcare professional to rule out underlying conditions like allergies, acid reflux, or a viral infection.
