Phlegm in my throat and post nasal drip after Covid

I had this for about a year since I had covid - having to clear my throughout every day many times a day. It may have not been as sever was what some of you herehave experienced, but it was still a reduction in my quality of life. I eventually went to see an ENT and he put a tube up my nasal passage and down my throat, and said the mucus looked very dry. He told me to take Rhinaris 3-4 times a day (over-the-counter here in Canada), and drink a lot of water. I did that, and it started to slowly get better. Then I got covid again, and after I got better from the covid, the phlegm, throat-clearing thing came back, even worse, and with a cough this time. I started using the Rhinaris but was a bit lazy about it, only used it once a day or twice when I remembered. After about 2 months, I got a regular cold, and the long covid completely stopped. Then after the cold ended (after about 5 days), it came back, same or a bit worse maybe. Then I started taking the Rhinaris, but diligently, 3-4 times a day, and drinking tons of water. After a week, the phlegm, throat-clearing, and cough completely went away. It's been about a week now, and it's still gone. One other thing I did during the week with the diligent Rhinaris is took an expectorant a few times - not sure if that helped or not but just wanted to let you know exactly what I took to get to this "cure". I hope this works for others, fell really bad for you all, and hope it ends for everyone.

Thank you for your ‘cure’! I too saw an ENT, Pulmonologist etc. and after 7 months it’s not as bad but nor ‘cured’ either.

Question is, I’ve searched Amazon for Rhinaris you say you took and I’m wondering what form it was? I see nasal sprays and gels.

Please let us know exactly what you used, form, strength, brand. Thank you!

I used the spray - here are the details: Rhinaris Nasal Care, Nasal Mist, Metered-Dose Spray. Active ingredients: polyethylene glycol 15%, and propylene glycol 5% in pH 6.0 solution. Hope that helps!

Yes!!! All of the same and right after shots…..still dealing…BUT. My magic bullet that put the most of this down is Cromolyn sodium nasal spray ….Amazon……it works…..! I even got the eye formula which is sold under vet medicine but pharmacist told me totally safe for humans. It cleared up my eye problems as well….running eyes and chalazioms….sp?…..the phlegm and choking and constant post nasal…..gone…..I use that spray every day to also clear sinus and brain fog……it’s like my coffee!……you can only get it on Amazon!! Cromolyn is the big gun used in hospitals for covid. I was reading white papers on this and checked out to see if they had it in nasal spray and only Amazon carried it. Checked out w Dr and Pharmacist and they thought that was pretty smart..!…….btw….I am also not having any migraines anymore! Have to wonder if the spray is why??!!! Good luck!

I posted this response to the wrong comment but here it is for the right one! …

So, yes I do think this helps. It seemed to produce a wetter mucus that could be blown out, and relatively quickly. In fact I avoid the tissue to not get rid of the solution right away. It definitely helped with the extreme dryness. On day 2 though I felt really lightheaded when I bent over to open a lower cabinet door in the middle of the day. Took my blood pressure and it was low. Didn’t think a lot of it or connect it. That night before bed I took my BP again and it was way low, 87/56. I had used 1 spray in each nostril 3 times that day. So I went to drugs.com and looked it up and low BP is listed as a side effect , albeit rare. I just happen to be really sensitive to meds and have had bad side effects from commonly prescribed drugs.

Since I went straight to bed I don’t know how long my BP remained low but it’s something I may monitor because the stuff definitely worked. I used HealthGuard Cromolyn Sodium Nasal Solution, USP 5.2 mg dose.

I have had thick sticky saliva since Covid that will not go away. It gets in the back of my throat and wakes me up at night. I've been to 5 different doctors about it. One cultured my mouth and it came back normal. They are baffled. I notice that if I eat pizza its worse, acid, sodium or dairy maybe? It's worse in the mornings when I get up. It's like foam. I have to scrape my tongue several times a day and rinse with mouth wash and I spit all day long. They call it hypersalivation. I've never had this until Covid. I am also taking a mucus thinner and drinking plenty of water which helps some. Antihistamines help to dry it up some, but, that dries my eyes out which are already dry. Is yours anything like this at all? Praying for you.
