Dry Mucus: Hydration is a powerful way to address this. A humidifier may also help. Suspicion for COVID 19 is higher with at least 2 of these sx’s: temp of at least 99.6, Cough, Shortness of breath, Chills, Shivering, Muscle pain, Headache, Sore throat or new loss of taste or smell.

How can you differentiate mucus from postnasal drip vs mucus from lungs when clearing throat? I don't have chronic cough, buy when I do cough to dislodge mucus in throat, it is nonproductive and sounds dry. I can also feel mucus draining down throat.
