So far, I have found nothing that helps this sticky thick saliva. Culture shows it is no longer thrush, just normal mouth bacteria...but it is anything but normal. I believe Covid attacked my mucosa and salivary glands (that's just my thoughts). I have been diagnosed with long Covid and am going to a Covid Recovery Clinic next month. I get choked on this stuff at night, I scrape my tongue several times a day, use Listerine, Perxoyl, and brush 3 times a day, salt water rinse, stay hydrated and still have this. Some days are better than others, but, it is never gone. I realize this is nothing compared to others. It's not painful, just aggravating. I'm hopeful there will be a solution for us all. Prayers....

this is exactly what i've been going through now for three and a half years, i have tried every thing, i can get it under control sometimes but it NEVER is gone from my throat and this is NOT post nasal drip..two nights ago it was so bad it blocked my airway, a nurse said to me once.."why don't you just swallow it"...serious, i wish i could..this is not like a normal mucus..it's like elmers glue that lines my throat and builds and it is always there... i thought by now i would be over this and i'm soooo exhaused, i swear i could fall asleep standing up, we have to keep fighting this..hang in there!!
