Covid Dry sinus, eyes, mouth

Posted by macmcgill @macmcgill, Sep 17 7:29am

Has anyone had months worth of dry sinus, eyes and mouth from covid and recovered? I also had burning mouth syndrome but that seems to have improved. I also have more neck pain, clear, bubbly and extra sticky snot and few constantly run down.

Similar to anyone else?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 Support Group.

I have been very dry for two years. My eyes, nose and mouth are all dry, also my skin has gotten a lot drier.
I use eye drops, xylimelt at night for my mouth, and nasal sprays. I think it fluctuates somewhat, but has never gone away.
It sucks.

Did anything specific set it off, or just started ramping up slowly?

Oh yes, definitely related to a case of Covid in 2022. After Covid I started noticing I was drier and drier. So I guess it has gradually increased.
Now it does fluctuate a bit.

Yes, very similar to me. My taste and smell did return.
Mornings are so tough for me. Tired, not ever rested. My vision and hearing are the worst for me.
I have double vision and hearing loss along with pressure, tinnitus and hyperacusis.
As you say, at least my heart seems to be ok, and my conditions have not been very painful, but difficult nonetheless.

Dry sinuses for last 2 years, eyes water like a fountain though. Have left raw spots around my eyes. Use spray to open sinuses. Super dry mouth. Could be from 17 meds. lol. My throat will be like paper. Makes me wonder if it’s that dry that far down does that dehydrate your lungs??

4 y r. as post covid long hauler; always had dry eyes but after getting covid in dec. of 2020 before vaccines ever made, i now still have dry eyes yet they gush constantly to where i can't wear eye makeup/face makeup all this time. optometrist tried temporary eye plugs and i've tried all the eye drops out there. very frustrating. i drink water w/no sugar electrolytes constantly for the dry mouth and on some level, along w/insomnia, i'm better than most post covid suffers and i'm 78 with an impaired immune system. thankfully i can still work out at gym 6xweek.
