rejlocal22, Hey There! Have you had COVID? Are you a long hauler with COVID?

The reason I ask, several on here have posted having extra phlegm with COVID and kept having it after having
COVID and most of them (me included) could not get answers from doctors. I had it for 2 years after having
COVID. I would get choked on it at night.

Please ask your doctor before trying these things that helped me.

Salt water rinse, NeilMed Sinus Saline Rinse, Coconut Oil Pulling, NAC (Supplement), Guafenesin (Mucus thinner) & Baby dose of Children's Zyrtec (Antihistamine) 2.5 at night. I know you don't want to use meds, but, honestly, I tried everything and the NAC supplement was the greatest help. You must drink a lot of water with it, or it can be too drying. I would not recommend taking the NAC, Guafenesin & Zyrtec all in the same day.

I wish you the best. I went to 5 doctors and none of them knew what to do. I had excessive saliva with mine as well. I believe COVID attacked my mucosa & salivary glands.

Blessings & Prayers....

Thanks,
I am presently taking a expectorant and cough suppressant containing Guaifenesin 1200 mg with Dextromethorphan HBr 60 mg. All it does is slow down the production of phlem.
I also suck on strong cough drops to keep from getting a sore throat. I have not caught Covid.
