I've noticed that after close contact with those who get frequent shots and boosters I acquire phlegm in the back of my throat for a few days following. I'm pretty sure they are shedding, and if I take antibiotics the phlegm goes away. I've never had COVID, and no one close to me has ever tested positive. Is there a window when shedders are more contagious, or is it continuous because they are boosting on a regular time frame? I can't find much online profiling the shedding process and what to expect.

Take guaifenesin to lessen to stickiness of the phlegm, not antibiotics.

Eat spicy soup with spicy broth.

Drink orange juice and eat vitamin C... citric acid, which also breaks up phlegm.

That's what gets rid of those persistent coughs.

dude's probably got bad reflux and it's causing him to cough and make phlegm.
