Have you been cured of POST COVID?

I would be very interested in your root cause protocol. I have a sinus congestion post nasal drip 24/7 long haul for about 5 months post covid. While not as serious or debilitating as some of the sufferers on this blog it still causes a constant flow of mucous down my throat and at times does choke me. My ENT says the inflammation in my sinuses is causing the excess mucous.
Various steroid nasal sprays or histamine sprays offer some relief as does a nasal rinse, but only temporarily. Any information regarding your protocol to calm down the inflammation and relax my body would be so appreciated.
Stay well and happy!

BINGO! That's exactly what I have! Three ENTs and the last one was the most experienced and a veteran (I saw him when I was about ten years old LOL). He has the CT scan of my sinuses looked eerily good. He used a decongestant and looked up my nose. Everything looked fine. My eyes constantly burn/itch, my nose is usually try and clear, but I can hear the sinus membranes cracking and popping.
The last ENT recommended going to Duke or Chapel Hill Health for food allergy testing. Not wanting to drive 2.5 hours to going down the rabbit hole of "Possible food items" that are causing inflammation, but if it helps I would 100% do it.
Has anyone here had food allergy testing?

Yep! I totally remember the constant drip down the throat -- especially when trying to sleep! It's really annoying and frustrating! I slept 1/3 inclined for weeks to help with that...
Solutions are easy and you're definitely on the right track but you need to eat an anti-inflammatory diet + low histamine diet as well. Have you tried that? (Strictly?) You can look up which foods have high histamine levels -- it may surprise you! I was eating things that I thought were healthy but they actually have high histamine levels (tomato, avocado, fermented foods etc). That way your body can get out of the inflammatory/high histamine response... Are you taking any histamine blockers? It helps! (Allegra etc)
Happy to send you my overall protocol when it's ready.
