Phlegm in my throat and post nasal drip after Covid

Posted by danny2022 @danny2022, Dec 18, 2022

Ever since I had covid in January of 2022 I recovered from the virus but I was left with a constant phlegm in the back of my throat and post nasal drip that will not go away. The feeling of having mucus in the back of my throat actually gets worse when I try to get rid of it by coughing. I have been given steroid inhalers, albuterol, allergy medication, but none of these work. The mucus gets worse especially after I eat. I've never felt like this before and it all started after covid. Can anybody relate to what I am going through?

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

Yes!! This has been happening to me for over a year! I've been seeing an allergist & her prescriptions do little for me. Some days I think I'm getting better & then it comes back with a vengeance!

I wonder could the vaccine be the cause of all this mucus, that’s what I am try to establish.
I only took one shot of the vaccine.
I caught covid before the vaccine came out.
It’s only the second time round when I coughs it I started having the musics issues

Yup, wondering the same thing. I got many covid boosters (after recoveringfrom covid) & each time my brain fog was intense!! Now I think the mucous is also a side effect from the shots. Ugghh!!!

For all of us that suffer from mucus build up, chocking etc is there a group or trial that we may join. All these are suggestions but not a cure, I am so confused and discouraged that there is not a medical group trying to help.

I even chose an allergy/pulmonary specialist office that claims to treat long covid issues & not getting anywhere with my mucous issue!!

Yes! My husband Mike has had this phlegm problem every day for 3+ years, along with fatigue and aches all over. It started the day after he got the
mRNA booster by Pfizer. What about Mayo Clinic? Do they have any hope for these thousands of people suffering all day, every day? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I have no clue 😢. I've never been in a clinical trial. But I have been trying some of the home treatments mentioned in this chat. The saline spray throughout the day seems to help. I'm weaning myself off other Rx meds to see how I do. So tired of all the sprays, inhalers & cost!!! Just feels like money down the throat drain now!

Honestly, Rx albuterol & OTC Mucinex are the only meds that helps me get the mucous up & out. I'm also using a wonderful throat spray that my chiropractor suggested, called Barlean's Immune Support Throat Spray, available at Amazon. So grateful to have found this support group!! Good luck & be healthy everyone!
