Do I have secretions in my throat?

Having secretions in the throat in the morning is not abnormal, as it can be due to lying down all night and swallowing less. If the situation resolves itself during the day, there is no need to worry. Nasal hygiene with saline water can help reduce the flow of secretions towards the back of the throat, which often causes this accumulation. This can be done as often as needed throughout the day, and 30 minutes before bedtime.
