This question got brought up today. What foods make mucous production worse. So I did a little research today. Dairy products are the biggest culprit in mucous formation. Part of the problem is the diary itself, but the other issue is the fat content. Fat in any form can actually thicken mucous and make it more difficult for you to move it.
Try decreasing the number of fatty foods in the diet as well as diary to help thin down the secretions. The other and probably most important thing to do is to drink plenty of water. Avoid carbonated beverages and caffeine. Water is your best bet for thinning down secretions and making it easier for you to handle them.
If you find yourself coughing or more commonly clearing your throat, take a few sips of water so that you can moisten the mucous membrane and thin out the secretions.
