Phlegm in my throat and post nasal drip after Covid

I had covid in August 2022, which was a mild experience that seemed like dust allergy. By December 2022, I had shortness of breath, heart palpitations, constant post nasal drip and mucous in my throat that doesn’t go away. By January 2023 I had fluid on my lungs, and the other issues persisted. By February, everything disappeared except post nasal drip and mucous. Nothing helps and I am constantly trying to clear away the mucous. I’m pretty healthy and rarely get sick, so I know this is all related to Covid19. Doctor did exams and X-rays of lungs, but nothing further since lungs good again. I have never had acid reflux so not even considering that as the cause. Very frustrating.

August 2022 for me, a month after Covid ( mild case). I know I resisted a gastroenterology cause but now being on Famotodine 40mg twice daily for a week I’m feeling some relief. This after rounds with cardiology ( misdiagnosed as heart failure ( beta blockers exacerbated asthma brought on by Covid); Pulmonary – rx’s Albuterol and Symbicort, after a cardiologist realized it was asthma and I was not in heart failure; few findings with ENT (a little more mucous than normal but how about speech therapy for the extreme hoarseness); and a year of self treatment (chewing gum worked the best). I’m scheduled with gastroenterology in February 2024. So frustrating but mine had moved into constant chest pain and Famotodine has improved that- like almost gone-and the gagging phlegm is relieved tremendously. I never thought it could have been Gastro either since I didn’t experience heartburn but I do think this is it.
