Hey girls and dudes :)
I´ve had terrible mucus problems for a week now and I don´t know what to do about it.
As soon as I start to exercise or to sing I imediately have to much mucus on my folds. When I am singing it sucks the most..... I have to clear my throat constantly and when I say constantly I mean constantly! I know tat it is very harmfull to clear my throat and I know that I get even more mucus on my folds by clearing my throat but if I don´t clear my throat and remove this mucus my voice cracks breaks and feels uncomfortable, at the end of my singing exercise I also seem to have a larynx that feels very "heavy" and swollen but no pain and no problem with talking......what do you think are my problems???
ah yes another thing I stay hydrated over day so that certainly isn´t te problem

Greets,
René

Sorry to hear your having these mucus issues. It sounds to me like the first thing I would do is check your diet. Over production of mucus is usually due to an overly acidic diet. If you check online for acidic foods vs alkaline foods you can get a good idea of how your body is reacting to the food you eat. It will produce more mucus and clog up our system when you eat to acidic.You may also be allergic to some of the foods you are eating. Also you can check out my blog at Superiorvocalhealth.blogspot.com or thru our website Superiorvocalhealth.com and you will find many articles about over production of mucus and diet for singers.
Good luck,

Maybe you just have a minor cold?

Could be a cold or allergies. Do yo have acid reflux? Try 1/2 spoon of organic apple cider vinegar in some water or juice before your meals. It should help.
