Phlegm in my throat and post nasal drip after Covid

Same here - terrible for over a year - I call it the "Covid Slime." Docs don't understand what it is. It isn't asthma or any normal respiratory disease that they have defined. I tried absolutely everything over the past year. Here are the 3 things that have worked somewhat: 1. Carbocysteine 750mg by mouth 3 times per day (OTC in Israel/Ireland, Rx in EU, unavailable in USA/Canada) 2. NAC 1200mg/day 3. Nebulizing 1 gram Sodium Ascorbate dissolved in 10 gram distilled water (this one worked surprisingly well).

Thanks for doing the term “slime.” That’s a good description for me to use with my doctors. I talk about “clear thick phlegm i can scoop out with my fingers.” I think “slime” would help them better understand the thickness. It gives me a sort of indigestion, heartburn, and it feels like there’s a ball of it in my esophagus and stomach at times.
It comes and goes. I drink lots of water when it’s bad- that seems to thin it out for me, especially if I’m giving a long presentation or discussion at work.
