I’ve been searching for answers myself because for the past 2 years (after having COVID) I’ve had constant post nasal drip which causes me to clear my throat or try and cough to loosen the mucous. I’ve also had 3 sinus infections since that continue getting dismissed as complications from allergies. I was Rx Budesonide to use with nasal rinse but it does nothing. The post nasal drip build up even causes my voice to change until I cough to clear it. On occasion, I’ve felt mild relief when enough of the mucous “dislodges” and I blow it out. This is gross and TMI but I’ve poked it and felt it and it feels thick like bodily tissue. Almost like a wet scab I suppose. I felt like I was going crazy because every time I bring it up,
I just get brushed off as it’s normal allergies. I can see I’m not alone in this and wish everyone the best and hoping this gets better eventually.

You might have to ask for a CT scan of your sinuses. I ran into this constant phlegm and sinus infections before COVID and I had to push back hard against it being "just allergies." It is miserable.

Found out I had a deviated septum, scar tissue in my ethmoid sinuses (from the repeated infections), and gigantic turbinates. I had a 30% airway in my right nostril. Sinus surgery ended it.

I did have one sinus infection after the first bout of COVID, which turned into internal shingles, causing sensorineural hearing loss and Ramsay Hunt on the left side.

Even more fun from COVID followed.
