Some people have a condition called post nasal drip. It has been recommended that a medication called SinusWars2 can help to loosen mucus and stop the running down the back of the throat problem. Yellow or green mucus is a possible sign of an infection. Since your mucus is clear you may not have an infection.
Another answer:
There is a product that I found in Thailand called N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine in many different forms right behind the counter. It was sold to smokers(everyone in Asia smokes cigarettes) to relieve phlegm. I have no clue why it is not popular here. In the states this drug is considered a vitamin and has been shown to boost your immune system and has shown signs of counterattacking bi-polar depression as well. The recommended dosage is 1000 milligrams daily, but I usually only take 500 mgs a day to save money. It is cheap though ($8 for 100 capsules).
Another answer:
Medications with guaifenesin are very effective to loosen mucus and help expectorate it. Robitusin is a common brand of cough medicine that uses this active ingredient. It is also in Mucinex. Guaifenesin is a natural substance that is plant-derived.

Do copperhead snakes have rattles?
There are 4 species of snakes referred to as "copperheads" but since the question was about having rattles, we may assume the person posing the question was referring to the Agkistrodon contortrix which shares its range with several types of rattlesnakes.Although both copperheads and rattlesnakes are in the Family Viperidae and the Sub-family Crotilinae, the copperhead is from the genus Agkistrodon whereas rattlesnakes are all from the genus Croatalus. Only rattlesnakes (Croatalus) have rattles (or rattlers for that matter).By the way, with respect to the other 3 "copperheads":The Australian Copperhead isn't even the same family (Elapidae)The Chinese Copperhead is the same sub-family, but is from the genus Deinagkistrodon.The Elaphe radiata, or copperhead rat snake is a non-venomous species found in southern Asia which is from a different family too (Colubridae).... and as already stated - since they are not rattlesnakes, they don't have rattles either.
