Did it go away and then come back? I had it during COVID, recovered a few weeks ago and now feel it again.

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?

How is your issue with constant mucus now,
Do you still have it.

@kako35 call me crazy utube motivationaldoc “drink it or chew it”. Advised chewing 1/4 tsp of thyme. I did gor about 3 minutes and 10 minutes later hardly any phlegm! I was desperate. It isn’t that bad either. Just sounds horrible.

@kako35 Despite being vaccinated 3 times, I've had COVID 7, yes, 7 times in the past few years. The symptoms between doses varied, between feeling like a bad flu to being totally wiped out & unable to function. I'm still extremely exhausted, have no energy for exercise, apart from swimming, & have a post nasal drip & a constant ball of phlegm stuck at the base of my throat. This in turn is causing me to wheeze & constantly cough, although I cannot seem to clear the phlegm. I wake up several times at night either coughing or snoring as everything gets blocked at night. I'm wondering if I'm getting sleep apnea now too, as I never snored or stopped breathing before COVID. I don't know what to do...but I'm slowly going crazy...& piling on weight as I just cannot find the energy to exercise. If coughing & blowing my nose, which takes a huge amount of energy & effort, counted as exercise, I'd be a few stones lighter. Can anyone recommend a course of action please? The country in which I live don't seem to have much information on Long COVID or lingering effects. Thanks
