I was drinking a shake tonight and when I was done, I had a metallic taste in my mouth. I’ve had the slimy mucus in my throat for 3 years since Covid. I’m so tired of it

I'm so sorry. I know. It's disgusting. I have found that Astelin spray (prescription) is helping to dry some of this sticky saliva up, BUT, it also dries out your eyes, so a little bit goes a long way. I am considering an integrative doctor that thinks outside the box. I recently had a dental hygienist tell me she thought it was gut related. I am going on a really strong probiotic and also I chew sugarless gum. I was on so many antibiotics/steroids for Covid pneumonia, horrible sinus infection & asthmatic bronchitis and all the meds gave me thrush. Now I have been left with this sticky saliva & bad taste in my mouth for almost 5 months. I have choked on it at night as as it is so thick going down the back of my throat. I had a culture done and nothing showed up except normal mouth bacteria. I drink lots of water, gotten off sugar which causes inflammation, lost 20 pounds, vitamins, eat healthy, etc., So, my feeling is this is definietly Covid related and could it be the virus attacked our mucosa & salivary glands? I think so. I pray yours goes away. Don't give up my friend.

I’m the same coming up 3 years.Driving me insane I hope one day it will go away.Constant chest infections altho recently it seems better I’m doing so much to prevent it tho lol
