Phlegm in my throat and post nasal drip after Covid

I started taking my allergy meds again, Singular. I think this has helped. I finally made it into the Long Covid Clinic at Anschutz in Denver last week and they thought the thick phlegm was there to protect my throat. They ordered up a scope of my larynx to make sure all is well there. Such a difference from the ENT I saw two days before who just shrugged his shoulders. The clinic is also putting me on Low Dose Naltrexone and is asking me to see a physical therapist familiar with Long Covid. I'll let you know how this all goes.

I've taken Singulair off and on for years; since COVID I take it every night. It helps both nasal congestion and lung issues, and best of all has a natural drying effect. I have been breathing fairly well the past few days, using Singulair, generic Mucinex (guiafenensin) 600 mg. 1X/day each at bedtime, and 600 mg NAC 2X/day.

Daily dosing instead of waiting for symptroms to appear works best for me. I also read somewhere - should have saved the link - it was a reliable source, that melatonin, every night, not just when you have jet lag, works to reprogram the brain (that good ol' hippocampus again, where the COVID virus lives on and on, and which controls circadian rhythms, smell, taste, short-term memory, etc.) REgular melatonin (because we need it) helps compensate for LC's distrupted sleep patterns.

Been at it for about a month and it definitely helps.
