I was sick for ages (months) after a cold. I finally went to a pulmonologist and was diagnosed with GERD. It was causing the coughing and the little bit of phlegm was basically produced from irritated pathways.

It’s possible it was Covid. Needing 1-2 wks to recover and then spending another 3-4 weeks feeling fatigued and/or congested does happen.

I have this same thing. Several days and don't get sick a lot. Ergh. Feel better. Saline spray does help, and I'd see doctor again if it's been several weeks.

Oh and you can do this before doing the neti pot to loosen the mucus so the rinse works

It's what I have to do. Be sure to use distilled water for both.

This is just what happens to me each and every time I get sick OP. I neti pot wash daily and wear a mask at this point.

There is always something going around that causes post nasal drip
