I've been dealing with the thick phlegm in the back of mouth for the past 6 years I've had Covid/Long Covid. At first I was diagnosed with an ulcer. Cured that by taking famotidine but also diagnosed with GERD. Stopping chocolate helped (made me sad though). Since covid I can't stand the taste or smell of coffee (also made me sad) but that's another thing I was told to avoid as well as tomatoes. I've started eating chocolate and tomatoes again and just dealing with the phelgm. I still occasionally take famotidine which helps, but I was taking it twice a day for a few years.

Since covid, I've had a runny nose. It's clear and thin, like water. I can't go anywhere without tissues and it messes up my masks. But it's non-stop and thin and clear--drops if I don't wipe. Anyone else have this symptom?

@rangda I am sorry you are also dealing with this. Yes, I have the same liquid runny nose that you have after six years and three infections. I do not have it all day long, but I have enough an issue at various intervals throughout the day (every day) where you just know something is not right. I never had these issues prior to covid.

I have tried saline rinses, all the usual suspect medications, but nothing seems to help more than temporarily, if it all.

Keep fighting, and hold on to hope!

@rangda I had covid 6 years ago. Since then I have had constant post nasal drip and thick white mucus in my throat which causes me to cough all the time. I am so sick of it. I will try to gargle with warm water and salt to see if it helps.
