Phlegm in my throat and post nasal drip after Covid

Posted by danny2022 @danny2022, Dec 18, 2022

Ever since I had covid in January of 2022 I recovered from the virus but I was left with a constant phlegm in the back of my throat and post nasal drip that will not go away. The feeling of having mucus in the back of my throat actually gets worse when I try to get rid of it by coughing. I have been given steroid inhalers, albuterol, allergy medication, but none of these work. The mucus gets worse especially after I eat. I've never felt like this before and it all started after covid. Can anybody relate to what I am going through?

With regard to front-line therapies, trials/research:

Reddit has flooded with people getting access to monoclonal antibodies, other drugs, etc.

Is there anyone here who has been in trials or treated with Pemgarda, Sipavibart or the Remeron cocktail of casirivimab/imdevimab?

They have had some successes in clinical trials, but we all have combinations of disparate symptoms - I just wonder if anyone has gotten relief/recovered from the awful mucus/phlegm-related symptoms that long-covid can bring…

@oly78 add me to the list of phlegm and mucus.

I have been following this thread for a couple of months. I have had these same symptoms since at least early in 2023. I have been to all the doctors and had the same tests, but never heard of long covid until now in August 2026. Don't these doctors keep up to date? I am discouraged/angry, They keep giving my meds for depression. I keep telling them that my problem is physical, not medical. NOBODY listens. I can't stand up for more than a minute. I am nauseated. Food tastes different, I just started to smell things, If you all knew this in 2022 and 2023 why don't my doctors know about it? My PCP said it was very rare.

Drs don’t want to hear about anything they can’t just prescribe a pill for. I’m so tired of drs shrugging their shoulders and acting shocked when I give them my symptoms (all began with Covid). I had an endocrinologist and my pcp both tell me they see “hundreds” of patients with the same symptoms but “there’s so much they don’t understand”-then “I’m sorry I can’t help you.” But of course pay on the way out…
I’ve had no help from any dr or anyone.
