Why is my throat slightly constricted?

Why does my throat itch and build up mucus after I eat?

• Lately, my throat has been building up a lot of mucus(or phlegm?) after I eat. I usually clear my throat several times after eating to make this strange reaction ease out of my throat. It usually takes around 20 mins -1 hour for my itchy/mucusy throat to feel relief. I'm wondering if this may be related to the types of food that I eat, because I do eat a great amount of spicy food. However, although I do feel that my throat becomes more irritated when I eat spicy foods, I've noticed that my throat also becomes itchy when I eat foods that are not spicy. So, why does my throat build up so much mucus(phlegm) after I eat? Are there any meds that will help with this annoying reaction?

• Answer:

  It may have something to do with their food rather avoid that kind if food and see if the symptoms persist, if so, see your doctor to know what it really is. Good luck!
