Thankyou for your input. I had Covid in October and have also been left with horrible post nasal drip. I too have had the CT scan on sinuses, blood test for allergies, non steroid and steroid nasal sprays etc etc. It is constantly there and it is worse after eating ...hence the allergy tests. I should have shares in Kleenex because the phlegm,/mucus production is in overdrive all the time. It's exhausting and a bit disgusting ever trying to be discreet with the phlegm removal. I'm sorry to see so many of us have It post Covid but pleased that it is
*a thing* and I'm not alone. I guess we just have to keep positive and try everything at our disposal. Good Luck every one. 😀(I am in Australia )

I'm right there with all of y'all and it's like this white foamy stuff,like you would find on top of a hot chocolate covered in marshmallow, but not as nice.
I constantly make jokes about how I'm going to go in business for post nasal plugs, because I have went through so many kleenexes and so much TP that was surprised I even have any skin left on my nose. This is got to be one of the strangest things ever. There is like nothing that I can really take that will make it go away. Neti pots or nasal rinses work awesome from what I hear. The other joke is I've swallowed a cactus and it came out of frog. There are times I have my uvula will swell or my tonsils and adenoids and it's like a scratchy spiny frog is in my throat and when I speak I start to sound like wolfman Jack. Hey, you gotta laugh, it is what keeps you healthy.

It is exhausting to constantly be thinking of this phlegm and how to get rid of it. Does gargling with salt water help? My throat feels coated with this yuckiness all of the time. I used to clear my throat and after several tries could feel it “break up” a little and I’d get some relief. Now that doesn’t work. It’s even hard to get to sleep. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
