Phlegm in my throat and post nasal drip after Covid

Yes, I also have the issue with phlegm in my throat, but usually only after dinner in the evening. Doesn't seem to happen much with breakfast or lunch. I will try gargling with warm salt water. Thanks for the tip. I have also noticed people complaining about GERD after Covid. I wonder if the phlegm is related to the reflux. I will ask my doc about the nasal irrigation.

To check out the GERD possibility, you might try taking Gaviscon Advance before bed. It's not identical to regular Gaviscon from the drugstore but instead a UK product available here via Amazon. It's a safe, natural formula that forms what they call a "raft" atop the stomach so that the contents don't leak upward into the esophagus overnight. It's a more natural alternative to omeprazole, also available OTC. Good luck.

Hi, I had GERD years before Covid and never had the phlegm till after I had gotten Covid. The phlegm seems to come and go like my other symptoms.
