Continued Post-Nasal Drip and Constant Mucus in Throat
Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 | Last Active: 3 days ago | Replies (429)Comment receiving replies
I have had constant thick phlegm since April 2021 (about 7-10 days after receiving the 2nd dose of the vaccine on 3-21-21) - I was suicidal for a while - no sleep for me or hubby having to listen to my efforts to get rid of the phlegm. I have tried so many things - nothing has worked (all suggested/prescribed by physicians). I have decided not to get another vaccine because I am sure it is the reason I am suffering. Now what? Between a rock and a hard place. Guess I'll be wearing a mask any time I go out. So damn frustrating.

Same problem. I think mine was a result of the vaccine booster although I had other boosters without any problems. Wherever the constant drip came from it is annoying and I don’t think mine is a result of acid reflux. One doctor thinks it is. I am on omeprazole for about 4 weeks now and it doesn’t help the drip. I am going to try and switch to singulair soon and see if that helps
that does look like there may be a bacterial infection there.Ask your Dr to swab and do a culture.
My horrible post nasal drip feels like a block of mucous stuck in my throat. It is always white very thick and sticky and it can wake me if I manage any sleep by choking from it. Nothing has worked. only steam inhalations. The feeling of slime goes down my throat. I so enjoy being part of choirs but with it stuck and on my tonsillar crypts it’s interfering with any singing, as constantly trying to swallow and breathe. Compared to serious lung lobe collapse liver damage and GI extensive inflammation and fatigue this is the worst symptom.

tallbarb, I am not a doctor,but, this definitely looks like infection. The thick mucousy saliva that I have and get up each day is white. I've had it since last year after I had Covid in August. Is your mouth full of this in the morning when you wake up or just in the back of your throat? Does this feel like sinus drainage or just a glob in the back of your throat? Mine is in the back of my throat, not sinus drainge and I have to clear it out in the morning. I scrape my tongue several times a day and gargle with warm salt water which thins it out a little. I would insist on an ENT or Pulmonologist doing a culture of this. Bless your sweet heart. I am so sorry. I know the throat clearing is so aggravating. I clear my throat all day long. I have seen 5 doctors to no avail. Praying much for you right now. Hugs & Prayers....
