why do people make weird snorting sounds and get snot in their mouth?
Excess mucus can accumulate in the back of the nose or throat and cause irritation to upper airway. It’s an uncomfortable feeling that naturally encourages the person to cough or clear their throat in an attempt to dislodge the excess mucus. Mucus draining from the sinuses and back of the nose down the throat is a normal healthy process of the human body. It is one way the body attempts to fight infection, for example. But certain conditions, colds, allergies, flu, certain medications, etc can cause the amount of mucus to increase, creating that uncomfortable condition most people refer to as ‘post nasal drip’. Increasing one’s intake of water can help thin mucus secretions in the throat. In the case of illness or allergies sometimes an antibiotic, antihistamine, or decongestant is effective.
