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.
