My doctor suggested citrus drink etc to increase saliva and help loosen things up. I found sucking on vitamin c gummy couple of times a day helped the thick gunk🙃. Hope this helped!

I’ve been dealing with this too since August 2022 following a mild case of covid. (Detailed story in ‘post covid phlegm or mucous in throat, somethin like that !).

CHEW GUM! It is my savior! Keeps me swallowing and therefore less mucous. I’ve read to try and avoid coughing. Makes sense that it encourages more. Sugar free gum is likely best; my fave is Extra- Polar Ice - blue package. I do not like the green one, Spearmint I think. I get the big 35 stick packages and go through 5/6 pieces daily. Definitely helps after eating for like an hour or two. And my gum wrapper chain is nearly 3 feet long in less than 2 months! It will grow until I’m done with this crud (Xmas tree garland lol!) Also, I purchased an alkalizing water filtration pitcher and drink about 1.5-2 liters daily. This in addition to Symbicort 160/4.5, 2puffs, twice daily, albuterol as needed (practically never).

May the Gum be with you. God I hope this ends for all of us!
