ENT diagnosed this as Chronic Neurogenic Cough/Throat Clear. A steroid injection of Kenalog helped. The meds not so much. Tramadol cause severe headaches. 8 weeks later the Cough is pretty much gone. The mucus much lighter yet still annoying at night when I lie down.

Thank you I looked that up. I don’t really have a cough but I do think the nerve damage may be something that is contributing to the post nasal drip and excess mucus and probably GERD. I have read the severity of the sore throat and nasal inflammation could contribute to nerve damage. The good news is I did read it eventually heals but takes a lot of time…. Fingers crossed. Glad you’re feeling better.

The Kenalog shot helped my husband. Now he takes Musinex before bed, he is constantly trying to clear his throat and coughs up crap every morning. We had Covid a year ago but I think he had this problem before that! He has had nasal surgery which helped for a couple of years in the past but don't know what constantly creates this mucous !
