I’m also a Covid Long Hauler (5.5yrs), I also cough up mucus 2 to3 days a week. I have had chest x-rays and everything looked normal. My ENT has me on NeilMed Sinus Rinse plus Budesonide 2x/day – to prevent sinus infections and from the sinus surgery. The doctors are just happy I’m coughing it up and it doesn’t turn in a lung infection.

In my opinion, the sinuses aren't that severe enough to require a rinse. Especially if I'm able to discharge on my own.

Thank you, for attention to this matter.

It is a horrible, I have been dealing with that on its worse sections for over 1 and half years out of now where not sick and nothing helps it

Im new to this Mayo group but have been dealing with Long Covid for 4 years, manifesting by severe brain fog, dizziness (now using a cane) and depression.
My question is has anyone used nicotine patches for relief? Im so tried of fake remedies. But I have seen comments about it, so Im curios .

Yeah thickened mucous is a thing. Mucinex helps if it’s really bad

The Covid-19 long haul challenges are complex to say the least. Hopefully those patient survey's taken five years back will begin to bear fruit very soon. The Mucus problem that rears its ugly head unexpectedly. The Neuropathy and Kidney deceases developed during Covid-19. The cat and mouse games we deal with regarding our brain. Especially if, like myself, rely on it to make a living. Medical breakthroughs couldn't come any sooner. I try to bite my tongue knowing, doctors had "written me off" based on my "push" numbers posted on the ventilator over a three-week period and the series of blood transfusions (2-3) and kidney dialysis (2).

What is acronym NAC? Please, can you provide source information for my review and possible consideration?

Thank you in advance.
