Phlegm in my throat and post nasal drip after Covid

One more thought…I had horrid coughing episodes for a couple years along with a little nagging cough. Azelastine was a big help for the horrid cough episodes, but didn’t stop it completely. It can be OTC or prescription strength.
I went to Mayo due to a lung issue and they started a compounded drug they mix for all the secretions. It has mometazine, Ipratropium and diphenhydramine. I use 2x daily and I have an Ipratropium spray to use for break thru since it last 6 hrs and other 2 are 12. I take a class 1 antihistamine at bedtime.
The little nagging cough was thought to be from asthma (new diagnosis), and the steroid spray stopped it. These work pretty well for me.
Here’s the Mayo description:
“Cough Clinic specialists have pioneered a triple combination nasal spray that uses antihistamine, anticholinergic and steroid medications. Mayo Clinic pharmacists dispense the spray as a compounded formulation.” A combination of sprays in these categories would work so your doc wouldn’t have to order Mayo’s, but is convenient as 1.

I hope you find a solution. That coughing is exhausting.

Been down the same route. Coughing up crap for 1 1/2 yrs. Now that it was only occurring after meals & had increase in burping , restarted the Prilosec my primary had me try earlier in the year. It didn't work then. Read about LPR, from Mayo, it's 'silent reflux' that produces the phelgm & effects the voice. This time it seems to be helping.
(FYI Larygno-pharynx reflux)

Have seen Lung doctor yet? I was diagnosed with LPR by ENT. Nothing helped that prescribed by GI. I went to a Lung doctor. She saw mucus in lung and prescribed meds. I am coughing for over a year now.

I have this as well. The same clear Neverending slimey mucus down the back of my throat it rarely turns into an infection its just there for months. It is worse sometimes than others. I'm having sinus surgery in January to help with it. None of the otcs i have tried really help Sudafed guifenisen nasal sprays. I also have a navage. I feel that it's related to the inflammatory response my body is having to the long covid.

To share- initially saw Allergist, ENT, went thru Pulmonary clinic over the course of last year. Prescribed antiallergy/ asthma meds & inhaler , did nasal lavage 2 x a day for last yr & 1/2. Had tried most all OTC antihistamines/ decongestants. Time seemed to be the main component to decreasing cough episodes & intensity while trying all of those.
Bcuz the forced coughing to bring up & expel mucous MAY have irritated my airway & now my symptoms are consistent w LPR reflux, that is how I am treating myself. I found out that taking a probiotic along with generic Prilosec can enhance the effects to reduce acids which may be causing the post meal coughing & phlegm production. So far it seems to be working for me.

Do you still take this drug? I got a prescription today for different formulation from Long Covid Clinic. They saw mucus in my lungs on CT scan. I am wondering you got cured or have to continue taking this drug?

I take the Mayo version of the drug. I have a couple severe allergies and it’s the most helpful and I’ll be on it unless something better comes along. The other meds are similar, but Mayo’s is easier with it mixed together and doesn’t taste as bad.
I was at Mayo because I had developed a lot of nodules and mucus plugs in lungs and was diagnosed with bronchiectasis, which is chronic. I had it before Covid.
Do ask about how to get lungs cleared of mucus. I have a clearance routine that is probably over kill for you
