Phlegm in my throat and post nasal drip after Covid

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.

I'm so sorry. I sincerely empathize. I am still battling thick, excessive sticky saliva since Covid last year. I choke on it at night sometimes. It gets stuck in the back of my throat. Metallic taste in mouth, bad breath. What I can get up out of back of throat is white like sour cream. I have been to my primary, ENT, Dentist, Infectious Disease & Dermatologist. Culture of mouth comes back negative. B12 was low and injections helped with metallic taste, but, didn't eradicate the thick, slimy saliva. Staying hydrated. Got off sugar. Tongue (after brushing/scraping off excessive saliva) in morning is white. I scrape my tongue 6-7 times a day to get rid of the sticky saliva. I have to spit all day long because of excessive saliva. I am convinced this thick stuff that goes down my throat is causing recurrent bronchitis. Never had this until Covid. Doctors are baffled. Any suggestions? Thank you and God bless.
Omg I’m the same!!! Had Covid for the first time 5 weeks ago and now for 3 weeks have constant thick mucas build up in my throat 🙁 I hate it so much!!! It comes out and it’s disgusting and then keeps building up I’m so over it!! I find it hard to talk to ppl and working is a challenge 🙁 have you recovered ? How long did you have it for?

Did not realize that the phlegm was possibly Cvd related. I use Quercetin for relief and take one in the morning. If it continues, I take another at night. It is a natural supplement. Works for me......
