I have COVID and I choke on my secretions, especially at night.

Hello ma'am, I'm sorry to read about your troubles!

The basis of treatment will be nasal hygiene with saline solution such as Hydrasense or Sinus Rinse which can be done as often as needed during the day and at least 30 minutes before bedtime. It's a little uncomfortable but works wonders!

Tylenol can relieve pain, as well as lozenges like Halls or Fisherman's Friend if you have throat pain.

I encourage you to drink plenty of fluids, cold or hot depending on your preference.

If these measures are not successful and your situation persists for more than 7 days without improvement, you will need to see a doctor.

I will remain available if you have any further questions!

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
