Chronic Phlegm Collecting in my throat, I constantly have to swallow

The information about the nerve was discussed with me by my Mayo PCP. I am going to use the Mayo portal to send him a message about the nerve and will post it.
He did said I had an overactive nerve there and that was causing the extreme mucus and phelm.
I also see a Mayo ENT and have been told over and over that they suspect I have silent GERD and causes the same type issues in throat. This came from my ENT. I also saw a pulmonologist who also said he suspected silent Gerd.
But if I have silent Gerd and an oversensitive nerve really explains the extreme mucus and phelm build up. And like another poster posted seems to come almost every time I eat but then I will also have the symptoms at other times but not as extreme.

@jc76 I started having this thick sticky phlegm in throat and a constant feeling of it running down from sinuses, yet nothing if I blow my nose. Started post Covid 3.5yrs ago. Saw ENT no polyps nil except inflammation. Steroid nasal drops, steroid tablets inhaled steroid, anti allergy tabs, nothing works
The ony temporary help is inhaling steam. Or squirting saline from Neilmed kit or if starting to choke at night Prp up and suck strong menthol throat pastilles. Barely sleep. Constant swallowing stuff day time def from above
I’ve been told this post nasal drip is common Post COVID no idea if it’ll stop as it’s inflamed sinus cells. Stupid symptom to get me so down and fed up
