Continued Post-Nasal Drip and Constant Mucus in Throat

I have always used Nu Science Nu Science Cellfood, 1 oz [available at Walmart or Amazon and many other websites. I usually use an echinacea and goldenseal tincture as a compliment.
In 1/4 glass of water put a dropperful of tincture and 2 drops of Cellfood, mix well. Swish in your mouth for one minute then swallow do this 2x day. Follow with 8 oz water and 6 drops of cellfood.
I find that this has taken care of both cold symptoms and sinus problems. It usually only takes 2 days to resolve.

I had problematic post-nasal drip with mucus collecting in my throat & my COVID-19 tests were negative too. The only thing that worked for me was regular nasal rinses plus gargling with warm salt water. I took me a year to get up the courage to do nasal rinsing. I did it out of desperation and lo and behold it worked. Once I became proficient at it, it was no big deal after all.

A sibling recommended adding lemon juice to the daily water I drunk. A dental specialist had recommended adding lemon juice to her following a dental procedure, to cut down bacteria. I followed this advice too. This sibling uses a infrared sauna mounted in her closet to keep her sinus passages open. I have heard these should not be used with cardiac issues however.

I’ve tried nasal rinses. It tends to plug my ears. I used the saline spray in a can. Works for a bit then back to yuck again. Did your issue ever go away?

Could it be GERD? I am dealing with that myself. Constantly clearing my throat, the feeling of mucus in my throat and a lump. Ugh

Welcome @vinfantino, I did see another discussion where members shared symptoms similar to what you describe.

Have you discussed your symptoms with your doctor or an ENT?

I had the same thing after Covid, which was mild. Seems like 6 weeks of hacking, the only thing that gave me any relief was coughing and huge caughs that usually ended in gagging. I just drank water and used a Mucinex product, but nothing really seemed to help. It's just very slow to get rid of. Good luck.

@susie333 That's what I do too! In the shower. I thought I'd invented it myself after so many post-Covid nasal and phlegm issues. You gotta' hork that stuff up to rid your body of it. I was never very good at that, but right now, I have to DO it. I've noticed a big improvement since starting only four days ago.

In answer to your question I feel that I am managing my sinus condition well with only occasional need for nasal rinses at this time. At this point if I wanted to end nasal rinses I'd have to part with most of my household belongings & live in a sterile field!

Did you use mucinex the whole time. I used it for a week and my NP said to stop. I was thinking of taking it again for a couple weeks at least
