I've not got, nor had a cold but am plagued with catarrh dripping down the back of my throat yet nothing to blow using a tissue.
It collects in Mt throat, making me cough until it comes up..quite large amounts down to pea size pieces.. I've had antibiotics for a whhezy chest and shortness of breath. Any advice/suggestions please.

I consulted my pharmacist, told them I was on Clopidogrel/Amlodopine/Atorvastatin, they sold me Benylin Mucus Cough MAX. I'm improving so no longer taking it now. I recommend you consult pharmacist or doctor.
OH has, at long last, an appt. with the ENT people on Thursday. He has sung all his life, a wonderful bass (I assure you -sang with a Welsh M.V.Choir at the Albert Hall, amongst others). Until 2 yrs. ago we had continued singing in a 4-voice quartet 'entertaining the old folk' & singing in church services around. We had to disband because OH became drowned in catarrh. I can now hear his chest telling me that he is coming upstairs! We've tried everything, Vick inhalations, prescribed medicines - the lot. A chest X-ray was clear recently; hence this appt. . If I get anything useful from it, I'll let you know.
Hello t.o.b. Well, I'm one puzled woman here. We ploughed through the snow this morning and OH had camera pushed down his nose at hospital. Result - nothing!
He's wheezing away but it is not catarrh, because I asked where it was all coming from. It is because he doesn't drink enough (he's on diuretics for his heart) and his vocal chords etc. are all too dry!
I don't know if this will help you, but it is all I can offer. Good luck. :)
Thank for the update Jourdain2.
I'm pretty sure I don't drink enough too. Interesting diagnosis..thankyou for sharing.
Last evening before bed I used a nasal spray having got to the stage I'll try a process of elimination.
I didn't wake coughing during the night..this morning I found the mucus shifted quicker and easier..I'm repeating that tonight. Hoping it's a good move.
I'm still wheezy, the hard coughing makes me see stars..like I'm going to blow the top of my head off.
Jinnyjoan I'm not sure I could tackle egg shells!!
