I've got that.....chronic mucus running down the back of my throat, constantly coughing, clearing my throat....its like the sinuses have lost control and can't stop making this gunk. If I don't cough it up it will end up in my bronchial tubes....im at my whits end....
Taking musinex makes it worse. Using Flonase or nasacort does nothing.
I use a nebulizer with a saline solution.....it helps a bit but causes a coughing fit right after using.... ive been on presidone for a week....and thats done nothing. I believe this is some weird inherited thing as my mom is exactly the same. This sucks and my family is ready to move out from all my noise!!!
I'm also 68....female....did smoke as a young adult....and have always had problems with this since I was a teenager. Getting the Flu or sick was the easy part, it's been horrific getting past the few months afterward. I wish I had a reset sinus button!!

@palomin01 I’ve had this for over a year . I know because I’ve been pumping allergy meds and nasal rinse and steroids !! Finally went to the ENT and I’m full of polyps again … so I’m going for surgery for the third time . It’s been 6 years though !
