Phlegm in my throat and post nasal drip after Covid

I feel certain the phlegm comes from my throat. The phlegm,itself has a different consistency and even taste than nasal mucus. I happened to see my doctor when having a particularly bad day. After examining my throat with a lighted tube that went up my nose and down into my throat, he agreed that it was coming from my throat.
I think the symptoms from post Covid are just different from the usual conditions of the throat and nose from allergies, strep, colds,etc..

Thank you so much for sharing. I came accross this feed this looking for this exact answer... you definitely described what i experience for over 2 months now since covid hit me dec2nd.

I get scarred and panic and get my throat closed up feeling because of the inflammation in the front part of throat on top of everything else..

It takes alot of of you ! Have a good

Ok, thank you. Have you had relief? What did the dr. prescribe? Any sprays or medication?

I also have this after Covid. Always produce more after eating . It makes me nauseous. Have tried nasal rinses and also salt water gargle. They help somewhat, but if I quit doing them I am right back to nausea and coughing up phlegm. I have other issues but this one takes me out. Don’t want to eat and just want to go back to sleep so I don’t feel sick.

Hi Everyone! After trying different stuff I have reverted to what my MD recommends and that is a warm normal saline solution to rinse mouth and gargle x2 and to do this at least x3 a day. I do so in the morning before breakfast,. afternoon and evening and have a warm green tea to drink at evening. Have been doing this easy treatment for 5 days now and blowing my nose because it is runny---is not as much --so improving.
However when get up in morning, I have a lot of white sticky mucus that am till coughing up. I am learning how to control the coughing otherwise I throw up my breakfast and get the 'dry heaves'. Challenging situation, to be sure ! BUT AM NOT GIVING UP!! Hugs to All.

Did you get tested for silent reflux (LPR) already? Sounds like that could be it since mucus in your throat is one of the main symptoms. You could suffer from it without having the typical heartburn that comes with normal acid reflux.

I did when I had a esophogus test. They said no.
But I want to recheck

I,too, experience that same feeling and had my first panic attack because of it. Since then, I’ve had two more. My husband talks me down from it but I feel bad (mentally and of coarse physically) for quite some time afterwards. That closed up feeling is scary. I’m sorry to hear how many suffer with it. It’s just got to get better with time. Thinking of you!

Thanks for taking the time to repond. I helps me alot hearing from others to feel like were not alone . And theres a actual shot to recover.

Best of luck in your recovery. If you ever want to chat..drop me a line ✌️🩵💪😉

My doctor didn’t prescribe anything much different than what we read from others such as Gargling with salt water, saline nose spray or mist, and mucinex to thin the phlegm. He also prescribed pantoprazole as I have symptoms of Gerd. The acid from Gerd can be irritating to throat which seems to make my phlegm issue worse so it helps me. However I only notice it helping when I stop taking it. Then I recognize that my symptoms flare so I assume , yes, it was helping.
I have not tried the zinc throat spray but I’m going to order it from Amazon tomorrow. It sounds promising. Have you used it?
