@bentstiks2 I read your response, and like your husband, I also have terrible phlegm in my throat. I have had countless blood tests, 6 laryngoscopies, two sinus CTs, and countless other tests, etc., and I still have major nasal/throat issues that deal with phlegm. My doctors are at a loss, because everything comes back as “normal.”

I am a 48y.o. male and had two confirmed cases of covid in July 2023 and Feb. 2025. These issues first started for me, however, in April 2020 - after a “cold” in February 2020. I presume that “cold” was actually COVID, before it really came into the larger public consciousness - but we will never know. For more information, I also received a fair amount of the vaccine (not claiming any injury there), and did a round of Paxlovid when I caught COVID in 2023. In the interim, I have tried flonase, saline sprays, nasal rinses, antibiotics, all of the “home remedies,” etc., and nothing has been able to break this incessant illness. Due to not having any answers, I still mask up in enclosed public spaces, because I cannot deal with any more variables with my health, for fear that it might compound the issues that I already have that no one can diagnose.

At any rate, I empathize with your situation, as I have been dealing with this terrible phlegm issue, having never had nasal/sinus/throat issues, in my life, prior to getting this virus.

If your husband should ever find some measure of relief, please do not forget us here, and please share your story. Like many, I pray for some type of answer, every day.
