Phlegm in my throat and post nasal drip after Covid

I’ve been following those posting about the nasal congestion, runny nose and excessive phlegm. How many have intermittent periods where the symptoms subside? I find some days the symptoms are profuse, and then some days go pretty well. Does this make sense? I don’t get it.
I had a discussion about the symptoms yesterday with my initial visit to a rheumatologist. She didn’t have much to offer, but she listened intently and I believe she will search for more info after meeting with me. I was actually there for body limb issues that could be due to an autoimmune disorder. But, she looks at all symptoms, including my smell/taste disorders and post covid syndrome diagnosis. She seems like a very sharp person, so I hope she runs across something helpful. She is working with my neurologist to help me with my symptoms. They are both at a large teaching hospital, so that brings me some hope.

I’m just wondering if you had bloodwork following Covid that showed markers for your rheumatology visit. I did, ANA+/ titter 1:320. My apt wasn’t until 5-6 months later and I felt pretty much brushed off as I did with ENT and my primary. It’s two years later and I’m still struggling and got Covid again. I got a rx for paxlovid and hoped it would wipe it all out - it did not. At this point I’m pretty much lost with a bad feeling of resignation and hopelessness. GI has determined serious acid reflux and ulcers, stomach and esophagus, but the PPI treatment is ineffective. He also discovered a hiatal hernia that might be the problem but my FU is still a month away. Lately my dentist indicated my sinuses at least on one side are low which might be my dental pain problem. I’ll have a CT for that next week.
I’m really interested in your neuro findings because I’m wondering if this whole thing could be related to a nerve problem specifically the vagus nerve because my problem is from my sinuses through respiratory and gastric systems. Treatment in each specialty clinic is effective short term but nothing is getting rid of my problems in total. Please continue to share your findings and good luck to you.
