Phlegm in my throat and post nasal drip after Covid

Re: Danny2022, has anyone spoken with their ENT about gustatory rhinitis? What did the doctor say? Mucus, coughing, nose running like made and post nasal drip after eating? Not always, but more often when I eat too much, or too fast, haven't had enough sleep or exercise, or ate sugar the night before. Anti-reflux medication has a worse effect. Drinking vinegar helps clear the mucus. Other high vinegar foods, dill pickles, pickled red cabbage, green pepper cut up in balsamic vinegar with salt and pepper. My ENT doesn't know why people get gustatory rhinitis or what it correlates to. It's not caused by the lungs, either. Post-COVID, yes. Takes 12-18 months to recover from COVID upper respiratory symptoms like this, but then if you get COVID again, you can't tell what is going on. Perfectly fine sinuses on CAT scan, it's a mystery all right.

Hi sorry you have this too I had perfectly fine sinuses too on scan but now I need to see an ent doctor this is choking me and I can't swallow or spit it out it's too thin and stays in the back of your throat and if I do get some in a tissue it can be ok until I eat or drink something or it will just come back on its own. Covid March 19 2025 left me with this it's been 5 months and no better. Hope we all get better and get over this soon. It's awful. See what the ENT doctor has to say. Hope no surgeries. There has to be something to dry this up permanently with no bad side affects. Any advice appreciated.

It’s been 3 yrs since covid. Had turbinate reduction and Rhinaer but still post nasal drip wakes me several times a night w coughing. Get up and rinse w saline but it continues. Tried several nasal sprays. Had 2nd CT scan, being seen by head of otolaryngology at Rutgers Medical ctr next week. Nothing has helped so far. Dr Eloy is my last hope. I will try the vinegar starting today. Only thing that has never been suggested before.
