Getting rid of mucus

[Justin_Jordan]

There's mucus in my throat almost all the time. I tried gargling with warm salt water, and also tried drinking lots of water a day, but they don't seem to help much. I have problems singing high notes, and I sound raspy whenever there's mucus in my throat. And it's very very frustrating. I went to see the doctor. He said that I have a sensitive nose, which caused the mucus to be there. He gave me a nasal spray and asked me to spray into my nostrils twice a day. But, it doesn't help much either. And I don't eat lots of diary stuffs. And I want to sing..I really love singing. So what should I do now?

try hot tea w/ honey or lemon
it worked for me when i lost my voice around the 4th of july and I had to sing at a sweet 15 on the 6th........

I still sang kinda raspy but not as bad as b4

If you got it bad sineufed DRIES up you sinus really! and another quick fix is vicks above your upper lip WHOO thats opened up then

You are on the right track with the water, try to drink it at least 6-8 times a day. I know this is a dumb question, I'm assuming you do not smoke. If you do, that could be the problem. Also, Dairy is not the only thing that can cause you to have musus, cut out any chocolate before singing and anything with caffine, such as coke or coffee.

See if that helps a bit... :listen

I would suggest seeing a ear nose and throat doctor
I have the same problem but its due to sinus drainage in the back of my throat it feels like mucus but actuall its drainage ..I am taking allegra and its working alot ..Also the water is very important .I know that drinking water m,ade it feel worse but after taking the medicine and water combined my voice is getting better..I dont sound as nasal .So try that ....Omg i know how frustrating it is I been missing studio time like a mutha🙁 🙁 so i feel you it can be so :bangbang ..lol
