Mucus can travel from the throat to the mouth due to several factors, including post-nasal drip, which occurs when excess mucus from the nasal passages drips down the back of the throat. Other causes include respiratory infections, Allergies, or irritants that stimulate mucus production. Additionally, conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can result in mucus accumulation, leading to the sensation of mucus in the mouth. This process is a natural response to help clear irritants and maintain moisture in the respiratory tract.

What causes mucus to drain from your head into your throat?
Mucus drains from your head into your throat primarily due to the body's natural process of clearing excess mucus produced by the nasal passages and sinuses. This drainage can be triggered by various factors, including allergies, infections, or irritants, leading to increased mucus production. When this mucus accumulates, gravity causes it to flow down the back of the throat, a phenomenon often referred to as post-nasal drip. This can result in a sensation of congestion, throat irritation, or coughing.

Why might a person who breaths through his or her mouth at night tend to have a sore throat in the morning?
The nose warms and moisturizes the air you breath in. It could be that the cool dry air coming directly from the mouth is drying the throat and irritating it. Alternately, it could be that the reason for the mouth breathing is that the nasal passages are stuffy and mucus from them is dripping into the throat at night when you lie back (post nasal drip). This can be irritating.

The liquid that is building up at the back of the throat is actually mucus (sometime referred to as phlegm). This symptom is known as post nasal drip.

You can try mucinex or sinuswars2 to treat this problem. Post Nasal Drip foten also causes throat irritation, throat infection and chronic coughs.
