I had a fever/body aches for about a day followed by sore throat and coughing. Everything was gone in a couple of days but the coughing lingered for over a month. My doctor prescribed me Ipratropium Bromide nasal spray and Flonase. I also used NielMed Nasal Rinse twice a day until the coughing stopped. The post nasal drip is still hanging in there. It makes me clear my throat constantly and sometimes gives me a mild sore throat. The Ipratropium and Flonase provides a relief from the nasal drip for about 24 hours. I'm hoping the warmer weather and lots of exercise like riding my bike and hiking will cure it.
yes, I have similar experience with feeling as if stuff is being stuck in my throat and also the inability to swallow it.. sometimes my meds get stuck there too. It feels like I’m constantly choking, coughing, clearing my throat, but nothing moves or resolves. Sometimes when I sleep I wake up choking on the mucus in my throat, which is very scary. My GI doctor recommended to sleep with my head raised up, not laying down after eating, and eating small portions 5-6 times a day. I have been trying to figure out this problem for almost two years now. I have been seen by ENT doctor, pulmonologist, GI dr. I was referred to get throat CT scan, fluoroscopy, swallow test, swallow test with tablet, and most recently endoscopy. Looks like Covid messed up with my esophagus muscles and brain communication which even caused choking on water at the very beginning of my covid hospitalization. Based on my swallow tests I was recently diagnosed with mild esophageal dismotility. I’m also taking meds for Acid Reflux because the Endoscopy found inflammation in my upper esophagus. Your experience seems very similar to mine, don’t you think?
Did it go away and then come back? I had it during COVID, recovered a few weeks ago and now feel it again.
