I have this sensation that thick mucus is running down my throat. It feels like what called loogies back when I was a kid. This sensation seems to amplify when I lay down on my back or side.

Thank you for this Zach! I actually have an appointment with my PCP to follow up my neurologist appointment.

Probably going to want to try and get an appointment with your PCP as well. You want to get some antibiotics or something you know. Stop that drainage if it's already started to infect your lungs, you do . need antibiotics Used to having my kid about anywhere from 3 to 6 times a year for I don't know 5-6 years and I mean she'd end up in the hospital all the time with pneumonia or we try and get her on something to stop the drainage and she'd still get sick. So yeah dude it can get serious when you got to compromise the immune system

☝️ she's right and it can be serious. It can cause pneumonia in your lungs if you don't figure out a way to keep that stuff out of them
