Phlegm in my throat and post nasal drip after Covid

I wonder if you’ve developed asthma. That’s the only real diagnosis I’ve gotten since all this started and the pulmonologist suspects it is covid induced since I had no prior history of asthma. The pulmonologist has said the acid reflux and asthma often coexist. I am using Symbicort for it and although it has helped tremendously through the worst of the worst, I do hate it the idea of becoming dependent on it so I’m trying to wean off of it.

Sorry if my other post posted. I messed up 🤦🏼♀️
But no. I don’t have asthma. I have no issues breathing unless I’m stopped up. Then I use the awful netti.
My daughter has asthma and eczema. Her whole life almost. But even as a smoker (on a small degree) I take a breathing test every year and I pass with flying colors. I do better than my doctor does. She doesn’t smoke. My lungs are good too.
I thought I may of gotten that smoking thing. COPD? But nope. 🙏🏻. I can’t take antihistamines either. I have RLS. It irritates it. So I have to use a nasal spray. Even Allegra bothers me.
I’ve had a deviated septum repaired and 2 of the balloon surgeries done before Covid. I had horrible sinus infection. But never this bad of post nasal drip.
I have no idea if I’m a candidate for the surgery someone mentioned earlier about freezing the nerves.
But would that help with acid reflux? If that is one cause? So many variables!
