Mucus in the throat.

I had that happen. I quit smoking, and it went away almost immediately. When you smoke, the nasopharynx is constantly inflamed.

There are many reasons. Don't forget to see an allergist. Most doctors don't think in such terms; they simply check whether the cause falls within their specialty or not. Even if you have some inflammation for any reason, a doctor might just prescribe local treatment. (Which, of course, won't help in the long run for completely resolving the issue.)

Have you had COVID before? I've had this for over six months; it comes and goes every few days. I don't pay much attention to it since it doesn't cause major inconvenience—just drink some water, cough a little, and it's fine. After all, I'm not a singer; even if I hum to myself at home, it doesn't bother me. They say it's a common issue—some people get over it in 2-3 months, others in a year or a year and a half, and there's no cure for it. It just depends on your immune system and how it recovers on its own.

Yeah, most likely because of COVID...

Hello! Have you managed to find the cause of the mucus? I've had it for three years, I have reflux, and I'm currently treating my pharyngitis, but there's no result at all....

I have the same thing after that illness - something unclear in the throat and my nose breathes fine, but there's a feeling of congestion and like there's something there. When you start blowing your nose, there's a little something, but mostly nothing, and if there is, it's clear. I've seen three ENTs, they all say everything's fine. And it comes and goes.

I've got the same thing

I've been feeling this way for 2 months and it's not going away😔

Hello! Did you solve the problem?

Did you manage to deal with this stroller or not? Did it go away for you?

I've had it for 1.5 years now, it won't go away, I'm so fed up

For a long time I've been coughing up phlegm, my mouth is full of it, I'm snorting because of this. I've checked everything - my throat, my lungs, I even had a CT scan

I was sick in December 2022... and I still have a lingering cough... I went through a medical check-up... All the tests and everything are excellent... What to do... I'm at a loss... I've tried everything... Various tinctures, solutions, gargles... I cough, even though I'm healthy.

I also have mucus in my throat. It's been going on for three months now. It all started with a mild cold. I had a runny nose for three days, and then my voice was nasal for a long time. The mucus comes and goes. Recently, my ear felt blocked too. An X-ray showed a slight thickening of the maxillary sinuses. The ENT prescribed hormonal nasal drops. I don't understand any of it.

That's literally my story! Turned out to be a Thornwaldt cyst. It also got inflamed and burst after a cold. Mucus would flow sometimes more, sometimes less. It wasn't clearly visible on the CT scan, the doctor saw it with an endoscope. They removed it, no mucus now, prescribed antibiotics, healing slowly. Wishing everyone good health.

I also got sick in December 2022. At first I was coughing up phlegm, but then the cough turned dry, and I still have occasional coughing fits, constant mucus in my throat. They diagnosed me with pharyngitis, but can it really cause a cough that lasts this long - going on the 2nd year?!

Please tell me, did you get rid of this mucus in your throat? It's been my second month. I don't know what to do? It's just awful, I'm so fed up with it to the point of madness.

Please tell me how to get rid of this phlegm?

Hello. I had mucus for 1.5 years. I went through a bunch of doctors and examinations, no one could see the cause, they just kept referring me everywhere. I bought IRS 19, sprayed it in both nostrils, and felt improvement that same day, by evening it was dry. No mucus or cough bothered me. I'm not a doctor, just speaking from my own experience. You could try it, maybe it'll help you too. Stay healthy!!!

Fgt

It's me again... I also had a polyp in my maxillary sinus. Got it removed a week ago. It was a constant source of inflammation. Waiting for the results. Honestly, I'm so fed up with everything.

Hello! Same problem here, it's been 4 years already. Were you able to cure it?

Same with me after another confirmed COVID case. In winter I had a bad cough and runny nose, the doctor didn't even listen to my lungs. But I have chronic rhinitis, and now this mucus has been added, it's driving me crazy. It's constantly sitting in my throat, you cough it up but it doesn't go away. I've tried everything already. I rinse both my nose and throat, used Momat Rino drops and took Sinupret. Nothing helps. The only thing is when I'm in Anapa, it gets better. But when I'm in the Moscow region with humid climate and forest nearby, it gets worse. The runny nose also doesn't go away.

You clearly need to see an allergist. Get a clinical blood test for eosinophil levels. If they come back elevated, then definitely go to an allergist.

Hello, did your mucus completely go away? And if yes, after how many days of using the medication?

So are you treating the reflux? Are you following a diet? Reflux and pharyngitis are closely related

How are you feeling right now?

What kind of CT did you get? And did you have an endoscopy with biopsy?

Hello. How are you feeling now? What other symptoms did you have besides mucus before?

Hello! Please tell me, has anything helped you? Or were you at least able to alleviate the symptoms? I've been experiencing the same thing for a very long time.
I'm feeling discouraged...

Hello. Please tell me, how did you manage to find the cause? Or at least relieve the symptoms? I have the same thing.
I'm at my limit, unfortunately..
I'm so fed up with it.

My daughter has had this for 3 years after COVID, this mucus is driving us crazy. It won't go down and won't come up. Nothing helps.

Hello! I have the same thing myself, I have no strength left, I've already gone crazy from the neurosis...

No treatment helps

Hello. Has anything changed over these years?

The same thing, after either COVID or a rhinovirus, I first had postnasal drip for about 2 months, and now this something in my larynx has been going on for 3 months. The ENT said it's laryngitis due to reflux. I did a bacterial culture, hoping it was a bacterial infection that could be treated with antibiotics. But they found nothing on my tonsils or in my larynx...
Reflux needs to be confirmed by a gastroenterologist, probably by swallowing a probe. That's why I haven't gone to one yet; I've been taking Phosphalugel and omeprazole on my own. There's no improvement in my larynx. What the heck is this, and what should I do about it???
Oh, and I got my blood tested for eosinophils and IgE—everything is at the absolute minimum. I also did an Alex2 test for almost 300 allergens, and I have no allergies.
I read about histamine intolerance or mast cell activation after COVID. I started a low-histamine diet a week ago, but no improvements so far. I'm also taking a Histamine Digest supplement with added diamine oxidase (the DAO enzyme), but there's no improvement.

Same thing, reflux. I did an endoscopy... treating it but omeprazole and H2 blockers don't help, when I start coughing, it's from three days until bedtime, can't get enough air. Feels like a lump in the larynx. I can cough it up, but it's endless. The phlegm never stops. I want to get a bacterial culture done too.... I'm going crazy

Good evening. Could you please tell me, does the mucus pull from below?

Same thing with this illness. And nothing helps. I just have no strength left... It's worn me out terribly! There's something unclear in my throat... And it's been going on for so long... How do we get rid of this plague...

Good evening. I don't even know how to answer, I didn't understand the question.
It feels like the larynx itself is producing mucus. And a little bit is dripping from the nose to the larynx. Before, a lot used to drip from the nose to the throat (it's called postnasal drip), but it has significantly decreased on its own over time.
For the second day now, I've been trying not to pay attention to this crap, and it seems to me that there's less mucus in the larynx. Possibly, we ourselves are injuring the larynx with constant throat clearing and coughing, and the larynx produces more mucus to protect itself. Try to ignore the problem, only clear your throat in the morning, at lunch, and in the evening.

Have you been to a pulmonologist? You should get a spirometry done. And a bacterial culture is a must... you can't mess around with hormones based on bacteria (if the pulmonologist prescribes a hormonal inhaler)

I read your comment and bought IRS-19, I've been spraying it for a week, it helps me for 30 minutes, thins the mucus, and then it comes back. The feeling of a lump in the throat and mucus appeared after COVID, I've been suffering for 3 months. I've seen specialists like an endocrinologist, gastroenterologist, ENT, neurologist - all is good. They said I still need to see an allergist to rule out allergies.

But all my issues started after COVID, just like many others here. Thanks for the advice, but my test results are normal.

Hello. Please answer, did anything help you... I just have no strength left anymore... mucus is constantly stuck... just no strength left... already desperate about what to do and where to run... nothing helps... Thanks in advance.

Sometimes the mucus is impossibly thick, other times it's constantly thin and stuck in my larynx and throat... please help me... It's useless to go to doctors, the prescribed treatments don't work... No matter who I turn to, they don't see anything wrong... but everyone prescribes some treatment... yet the situation remains the same as it was, dragging on and on... it just stays there... and it's been half a year of this torment already.

I found three types of chronic laryngitis online: catarrhal, atrophic, and hyperplastic (something like that word).
Atrophic cannot be cured, hyperplastic requires surgery - they remove the overgrown tissue. I don't remember the rest.
Try breathing Pulmicort through a nebulizer, twice a day.

I've had it for 4 years 😢

No one knows how to treat it
I've had it for 4 years

I've had it for 6 years already, don't know how to treat it, had surgery already 40 days ago didn't turn out so well, mucus in throat won't go away

Hello. Did anything help you? Same situation...
