Phlegm in my throat and post nasal drip after Covid
Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 | Last Active: 11 hours ago | Replies (1026)Comment receiving replies
Has anyone actually gotten any real help or been able to resolve the throat and mucus issues? Have any doctors been able to identify if it is gastro or other related to post-covid, like mast-cell issues, over-active immune system and cytokines, viral reservoir, etc.?

@oly78 Not in my case. I have been to Allergist, ENT, GI, Pulmonologist and Long Covid clinic. Nothing works so far.

@oly78 I went to a pulmonologist after working with my doctor. I, like many had a difficult time try to figure out if I should choose an ENT or pulmonologist. Along with the symptoms you described, I coughed when talking, and at night...I thought from the post nasal drip.
The pulmonologist listened, ran blood work, and prescribed Trelegy, a once a day steroid inhaler.
I noticed a difference on day one. After 3 weeks my symptoms, cough, phlegm, post nasal drip were gone.
Now at 6 weeks, I'm still on the inhaler and have a follow up appointment in 2 months.
I'm very hesitant to stop the inhaler. I fell better than I have in 2 years.
