Has anyone experienced very dry nasal passage (almost no mucus), dry mouth, dry eyes, clogged ears (which make me very dizzy). If so, will it get resolved over time? Help!!

My husband and I both had very mild cases of COVID in late Nov early December. Bad cold, with exhaustion, a cough and conjunctivitis. I’m not sure our eyes will ever be normal again. I also have all of the other symptoms you mentioned. 🤷‍♀️. We’ve both had several rounds of different eye meds and have had some improvement, but we’re not at our pre-COVID status yet.

Per opthamoligist, I use artificial tears and microwave warm eye mask 4x day. Eye dryness had led to Meibomitis. Took 3mos but much normal again.
Audiologist has me put drop of oil in each ear at bedtime.
I heat a cup of water in microwave & inhale the steam.....but now humid summer weather in Michigan has improved nasal passages.
No cures, just treating symptoms.

Have you tried a cool mist humidifer? I use it for my dry eyes and it helps also with dry nose. I also recently had puntum plugs (sp?) put in my eyes and they have been a game changer for dry eyes. Perhaps some of your medications could be drying you out as well. Have your pharamacist look up your meds and see if any of them are drying. Prayers & Blessings....

Me and I dont know what to do sometimes it burns too

I've rarely had dry mouth, but after having Covid I have it severely ever night, and throughout the day.
Will it ever pass?
Plus a list of other side effects after Covid, it has definitely effected the syringomyelia I have been dealing with for over 30 year's now.

What's your current status? Did your symptoms ever improve? I've had the same symptoms for six months and got inferior turbinate reduction surgery for the swelling. At two months since my surgery my nose is still super dry. I found that pushing wet tissues (use sterile/filtered water) up my nose for long periods of time led to a partial decrease in swelling and let the small amount of mucus that my nose still makes accumulate. I'm looking into acupuncture to help with the dryness.

I got Covid 8/2021
And have never been the same. I deal with dry sinuses causing headaches, dry eyes, mouth, nose, throat. My ears feel plugged and make me dizzy at times. It’s been awful! I haven’t found anything to help me. I have a humidifier, I use saline sprays, saline gel, and nothing helps with producing mucus.
