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?

I've been dealing with it also,,,and a few friends of mine... since 2020
@oly78 I found a compounding pharmacy that creates my liquid LDN 4.5 mg/ml for about $80 for three months supply (so about $26 a month). They ship it to me for not additional cost.
You do have to stay on it until researchers can find something else that will help reset our immune systems. LDN decreased my pain from the inflammation substantially and gives me more energy. I can now walk about 8/10 of a mile every day, wash my hair without losing the rest of the day, and fatigue does not hit me until 1-2 pm.

1 ReactionI have had Covid four times AND have had four Covid shots. I have had huge amounts of mucus since my first episode. I take Mucinex, Fexofedidine and a nasal spray which help a little. I often wake up with mucus in my throat and have to sit up and clear it out which doesn't allow for a restful night. My PC doesn't have any other ideas either.
@vostie I have had exactly those and more issues with long covid which place do you use for a pharmacy
I have prescription for it at the Fairview Compounding Pharmacy in Shoreview, MN. Any compounding pharmacy can make it for you. I get it as a liquid as you start at a low dose and slowly work up to 4.5 mg per day. It is a pretty tasteless liquid. I did have very trippy dreams for about two weeks (not nightmares) and they did go away. That was the only side effect for me. I get some extra energy from it when my endorphins release but some people feel this as anxiety so you will have to see what your body does.
I am fortunate that I continually was able to spit out phlegm. I watched Dr Mandell on u-tube the other day about phlegm, his suggestion was 2 teaspoons of thyme in boiling water and steep gor 10 minutes and drink or take 1/4 teaspoon of thyme put it in your mouth and chew…..I did this for about 3 minutes and then swallowed. Within 10 minutes my phlegm cleared up. I gave been on two strong bouts pf prednisone 50 mg for 3 days and decreased every 3 days….that was useless. I couldn’t breath! Once I took the thyme it has helped so much. I know it sounds crazy and the thought of the taste of thyme is horrible it ended up not bring that bad. Good Luck!
@beebee000 go to utube and watch motivationaldoc and watch the episode on drink it or chew it. I chewed the 1.4 teaspoons of thyme for aboutv3 minutes and within 10 minutes my phlegm cleared and I was really having a bad time with the phkegm. It sounds crazy but it really worked for me! Good luck
@danny2022 try chewing 1/4 tsp of thyme for about 3 minutes and swallow it. U-tube has a video motivationaldoc drink it or chew it. It worked lije a miracke!
@kako35 call me crazy utube motivationaldoc “drink it or chew it”. Advised chewing 1/4 tsp of thyme. I did gor about 3 minutes and 10 minutes later hardly any phlegm! I was desperate. It isn’t that bad either. Just sounds horrible.
