Brief Answer:
Sincere apologies; two possible causes
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX and my sincere apologies as I misread the history details.
In view of the provided information I am assuming there could be two causes for such a presentation:
1. The increased mucus production/congestion that you are experiencing could be due to a ear, nose, throat (ENT) or
sinus condition that could easily be the cause for the presentation you are experiencing. For example, most patients with a
throat infection wonder why they are experiencing pain in the ear or
headaches. This is because the ear, nose and throat regions are all inter-connected and thus can present with symptoms even if that particular region is not involved. So, the headaches you are experiencing could be due to a condition that is currently present, and is causing the increased mucus production and/or congestion
2. I am assuming the
betaine XXXXXXX was prescribed by a doctor, but it is important to discuss the instructions of intake of this as many patients have reported worsening of symptoms with the prescription of betaine XXXXXXX Let me list some of the most common problems that can arise:
-Avoid consumption of any pain management medication along with this as it can lead to a vulnerable stomach lining that is then attacked by the intake of betaine XXXXXXX resulting in serious complications (eg. ulcers, bleeding, etc.)
-Take betaine XXXXXXX with
pepsin, which will help in proper action of the betaine XXXXXXX
-Appropriate diet to be taken with the betaine XXXXXXX
-Taking the right dose that will help you (average dose is 5-7 pills of 650 mg)
The reason why I have stated these common instructions, is because the consumption of the betaine XXXXXXX without this knowledge can result in an imbalance in the
gastric acid levels, which can result in the headache that you are experiencing.
I hope I have successfully explained this to you in a manner you best understand. Once again, my sincere apologies for the previous mistake, and please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help you.
Best wishes.
