Hello. Thank you for posting today.

Postnasal drip also commonly causes excess mucus at the back of your nose and throat many times after eating. Excessive, thick phlegm or chest mucus can often be caused by viral or bacterial infections such as influenza, bronchitis, and pneumonia, as well as irritants such as those inhaled during smoking.
