Phlegm in my throat and post nasal drip after Covid
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?

@oly78 Not in my case. I have been to Allergist, ENT, GI, Pulmonologist and Long Covid clinic. Nothing works so far.
@oly78 Which kind of Doctor prescribed LDN? Just wondering so I can go see that specialist.
@clcarranza What are the things/meds that help you? I appreciate your help!
@clcarranza Hi Carole, Could you please outline your regime? How many times Xhnace? Is Albuterol inhaler or nebulizer? How many Mucinex per day?
@dolphinspirit What is the name of the guy in Omaha?
@palka9898 Hello! First let me say that I feel your pain with this relentless mucous problem!
I use a Trelegy oral inhaler once a day in the morning, Fluticasone Propionate - 2 sprays per nostril at bedtime, and 12 hour mucinex at bedtime. Sometimes I also take a Sudafed PE tablet at night &/or morning as well. With the autumn weather/allergies I am also taking a 24-hour Zyrtec or Claritin. I find the generics of all the OTC meds work for me. In addition, I use an albuterol inhaler as needed and I find the throat spray called Barlean's Immune Throat Spray (Amazon) invaluable to clearing mucous throughout the day! Seems like a lot but it's not difficult to do & if I stay on top of it, the mucous stays at bay & I don't cough or clear my throat so much. I don't take Xhance anymore but it DID get me over the hump in getting this all under control.
All the best in getting your mucous problem figured out!
Best, Carol
