Yep I’m suffering too from dreadful thick white catarrh. If I look at my tonsils with a mini torch it’s gross they’re covered in a thick white film.. The worst problem is at night when I suddenly feel I’m choking. This all happened from catching Covid in December 2022. It caused a lower lobe of lung to collapse and inflammation of liver. I was treated with antibiotics and steroids. 3weeks later finally feeling better that horrid catarrh started.. Was given all sorts of nasal sprays sinus washes,antibiotics which Inever had green phlegm.
I lost appetite and went down 2 stone in weight
. Never lost sense of taste or smell My ENT showed tiny polyp. Due to sudden weight loss all examined re gut and they found that Covid had caused severe extensive gastritis yet I never had pain or heartburn
. I have mild vertigo too. About 3 months ago I thought it was going away then suddenly returned. At night I barely sleep due to the choking and all day I have a post nasal drip. I just want it to end it’s been so long. My big hobby is singing and trying to time soprano notes with constant need to swallow catarrh makes me despair and sad it ruins my love of singing. Lack of sleep destroys how much I can do next day. Really fed up.

God Bless You! I had a bad case of COVID in 2022 and then a mild case in 2023. I have Long COVID. I have that thick mucosy slimy stuff too. Suggestions that have helped BUT not healed me:

1) Warm Salt Water
2) Coconut Oil Pulling
3) Keep Acid reflux down with ginger chews, Gaviscon & Protonix 20 mg (Prescription).
4) Scrape my tongue once a day and use Peroxdyl (Colgate) and rinse.
5) Keep your mouth extremely clean. Listerine was recommended after I brush and floss.
6) I went to 4 doctors about this and a Dermatologist cultured my mouth and it only showed normal mouth bacteria....this stuff is not normal.
7) I've trice NAC & Guafenisin (Over the counter), but they are drying to the eyes. They help a little.

COVID caused this in me no doubt. Salty foods, Sweets & if I get an upper respiratory virus it makes it so much worse for a few days. I choke on this stuff at night, BUT, I will say, it has gotten a little better over time.

Praying for you right now. Its very frustrating. Doctors were not prepared for COVID and a lot of them still do not know what to do for Long Covid.
