Continued Post-Nasal Drip and Constant Mucus in Throat

I use Azelestine spray, better than any other, and can be taken as needed. works in 10-20 minutes.
Also red bell pepper chewed, dissolves the phlegm and clears the back of the throat. Try it!
I had 3 full doses of Moderna, last shot 20 months ago, Will never take any of the mRNA vaccines because the lipid nanoparticles penetrate every cell in the body and tigger numerouse unknow side effects.
If you are deficient in D3, and you will be unless you live in the southern states, your immune system is seriously comprimised. I take 5000iu of D3 and 100mcg K2 starting 4 months ago. Get rid of as much sugar as you can in your diet (like no processed foods with added sugar!) and you will see amazing results in every part of your body. I am 77 and walk 200minutes/ week on treadmill at 3.5-6% grade at 3mph. There is no magic bullet to body health, except getting rid of all excess sugars! Its literally poison, and buried in every processed food product you buy.

Sugar is THE poison that effects everything. Do not eat anything with refined flour. I mean anything. Its pure sugar. Dont eat anything with any processed seed oils, Canola, Sunflower, sesame, etc. Only virgin olive oil, and coconut oil. Healthy fats from sardines, salmon, all wild caught, chicken, or unprocessed meat. Most things with a Bar Code on it, are bad for you, as the main ingredient is grain, sugar and processed oils. I lost 10 lbs in 6 weeks, by elminating all added sugars and eat a mediteranean diet with fresh vegetables daily.

Yes, for migraines 30 years ago but not for post covid

I got Covid in March of 2020. It was mild, but lots of coughing and weird dizziness for a month. Fast forward. I still have tons of phlegm I’m my throat. My Doctor just doesn’t think it’s long Covid. I know it is. I’ve never had it before Covid. I feel like the mucus never goes away in my throat. Certain foods make it worse. Sometimes even toothpaste makes me gag. I’ve taken many different antihistamines, Pepcid, antihistamine nasal sprays, saline. Nothing helps much. I have this big lump in my throat. I can spit, but it comes right back. I dread going to my Dr again, she will just blame it on something else. Maybe a sinus Specialist? No, histamine diet doesn’t work either. Anyone find any relief?? Even some family just make jokes about my hacking and don’t believe in long Covid. I feel alone. My husband is my only believer in this issue.

Doctor said the same thing. Went to an ENT and he said it's reflux. Taking the medication, but I still have the awful post nasal drip and phlem which is so much worse at night. I wake myself up coughing. Awful. This virus is too new, I think, to have this diagnosed.

I know Pepcid helps me when I have a stomach ache, but doesn’t help me with the phlegm. The only thing that actually helped some was Benedryl, but that can be constipating. I actually don’t cough from inside my lungs , I hack mucus like a Llama. I avoid potato chips, orange juice and nuts. It makes it so much worse. It almost seems like sinusitis with a food allergy I had scans done of my lungs and sinuses, and nothing shows up. I think that’s why some people don’t believe I have anything. I’m going to try Flonase again, maybe for a little longer. Hugs 🤗

i have the same thing,,as far as the post nasal drip..i know it is because covid messed up my sinuses, the phlegm is always in my throat 24/7 and gets really thick like seconds..i mean seconds after i eat or drink anything, i have tried acid reflux meds prescribed by my doctor...nothing worked..so i keep my sinuses irrigated and that helps until the next day, it's now a routine everyday...

Forget the sinus specialist, or ENT, I had absolutely no help there. I was on a PPI for reflux, that didn’t help. I have been diagnosed with asthma, likely covid induced, and that Dr (pulmonologist) said reflux and asthma like to coexist. ( my chest x/ray and ct scan both normal) She put me on Symbicort (inhaler) It helps a lot but does not eliminate. Thought I was doing better and tried going off of it - big mistake. Serious mucous buildup with a couple of days. Best thing I’ve found is chewing gum following a meal. Like I’m chomping on gum for and hour or two which keeps me swallowing and helps keep the post food mucus down to a more tolerable level. My covid was July 2022. I’m so discouraged to read you’ve been dealing with it for 3 years. I’m afraid it’s going to be forever!

I also had same thing. Got COVID a month ago and still running nose and coughing. Seems like junk in my throat that I just can’t and maybe chest too that I just can’t cough out. Hoping it goes away sometime soon.

I had Covid last June, followed by months of the terrible hacking cough others have mentioned. The cough eventually receded, but I was constantly clearing my throat before I could talk & my voice had become chronically “raspy.” My primary care doctor referred me to an ENT who recommended Musinex. I take 2 capsules morning & night, & it has definitely helped. He also referred me to an imaging center for a “barium swallow” test, which involved drinking multiple cupfuls of this milky liquid while images were taken of the stuff passing through my esophagus. I was later told I have a “Zenker’s diverticulum” ( it’s really a thing—I looked it up!). It’s a little pouch-like protrusion into the esophagus (I presume caused by all the coughing). It collects mucus, also food particles, and can cause gagging & choking, as well as the chronic throat clearing. The ENT thinks it’s not serious enough for surgery (of course, he isn’t living with it), & I’ve only had one instance of serious choking, so far. That made me more conscientious about taking the Musinex, which definitely helps. I see my primary care physician later this month, & I’ll talk with her about what, if anything, to do next.
