I feel like there's this big lump of mucus that's stuck between my nose and throat, and it's really annoying and making me feel short of breath. I've tried swallowing a bunch of times, but it just won't budge. With everything going on with COVID, I can't really see a doctor in person. Is there anything I can do to make this go away? It's been like this for three days, and I don't have any other symptoms. I'm not sure what's going on. Any ideas?
