Why does my throat have a lot of mucus after eating greasy or fast food.?!


Question:

Why does my throat have a lot of mucus after eating greasy or fast food.?


Answers:
Where I live it's called having a Post-Mexican food cough. One good cough and it's all cleared up. The reason you need to cough is because there is a lot of fat/grease in the food you just ate. In high fat content foods like fast food, Mexican food (Tex-Mex, not authentic Mexican food), tends to cling to any drainage/post-nasal drip/mucus/etc that's already in the back of your throat and make it thicker. It's the thickness of it that makes it necessary to cough. The same thing can occur in any high fat food, even ice cream.

I hope my answer didn't gross any one out.

you could be allergic (even slightly) to soy, if the food was cooked in soybean oil

maybe acid reflux

Very odd question, but it would have a lot of mucous depending on the type of oil the food is being cooked in. Trans fat can leave a waxy taste or flem in your system after intake. That's why you see all of these new "no trans fat" food products.

Do you have any frog genes in you?

Maybe the food is extra greasy from animal fats. Drink some water, swallow, and worry about more important things.
