Summary
A 23-year-old with asthma and PCOS has had persistent mucus after a COVID infection. For 15 months they coughed up mucus all day and night, disrupting sleep, oral hygiene and socializing. They tried numerous mucus-relief products, allergy medicines, steroid pills, antibiotics, inhalers and bromelain, and used vitamin C cough drops for some relief. They had just received a second booster and hoped for improvement.
