Continued Post-Nasal Drip and Constant Mucus in Throat
Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 | Last Active: Jan 23 1:45pm | Replies (399)Comment receiving replies
I had covid 5 months ago which resolved within 9 days BUT since then my throat constantly feels raw and I have perpetual post-nasal drip which creates a lot of phlegm in my throat and a dry cough. It comes and goes daily and I'm sick of it. I emailed my dr who said to wait before coming in to see him as it could take awhile to resolve but it has been 5 months. I'm ready to see a specialist but should I see an allergist, or ENT dr? I have tried allergy OTCs and saline nasal spray but nothing works. I actually had a few days of relieve and then boom its back!! Any advice?

Hi, did this ever go away? If so, how? I have the same thing!

Just saw doc yesterday. Go put on two things for chronic rhinitis for 30 days to see if they help. We talked about ENT. He said because it is considered such a low level issue they will likely just post-pone any appointment for somewhere up to two years away. The reason they would do this is because there are a number of people with the same issues after having Covid that they just hope that the body will heal itself. This is also because it is too new an issue they don’t know what to do about it.
