So on my home time never have this clearing of throat constantly like I do on truck ,, Is this allergies to dust , dehydration ? stress or acid reflux from stress etc ? Also when sleeping get dry mouth .. Think the air can be very dusty from road grime etc … And since can has little insulation with all the heat and air running constantly probably drys you out .. How do you combat this if there are others ? I don’t care for water but try to drink that mostly on road cause such little movement hate to drink to much sweets . So drink less .. Does anyone need allergy pills for this ? Thanks for any help

Just talk to your doc.

Zyrtec (generic name cetirizine) is a small allergy pill (10g) that can clear throat mucus. Take one before bedtime.
Kroger's green generic Nyquil can also do the same thing and is intended for fighting the onset of a cold or flulike symptoms.
Not for mucus, but is best for fighting off the earliest stage of a cold is Coricidin. If you are too late and a cold is set in, then Coricidin will make you feel better.
If your mucus persists, set time aside for an urgent care visit and you'll be prescribed something that should help.TurkeyCreekJackJohnson, unloader, silverspur and 1 other person Thank this. -
I think you answered your own question, a combination of all the above. Cab filers help some, but the air is indeed dry, and dust or dried road salt will do that. Some sort of 12v humidifier might help, although I don't ever recall seeing any. Now, do that for 35 years, no wonder I feel like crap in my retirement years,,,

Drink lots of water. Make sure you aren't leaving the A/C on recirculation all the time.

I get that it’s if I eat too many carbohydrates. Too much cheap snacks on the road.

I experimented with this in a truck. It worked, just kind of bulky. I only used it while the engine was on.
