Posted on Tue, 30 Dec 2014
Question: I have the following symptoms:

2. Hoarseness of voice, need to clear throat constantly.
3. Light headache
4. Bleeding at nose.

I have deviated septum. Slight high eosinophil.
This is going on since last one month. I am not in a position to consult with ENT specialist. What can be the cause of above? What to do to mitigate it for a moment. I am out of XXXXXXX and will be back within 1 month, then I will consult with ENT specialist.

After reading your clinical history it appears that you are having allergic rhinosinusitis with DNS leading to PND , clearing of throat & Hoarseness .
