Suggest Treatment For Cold , Throat Infection And Sinus Infection

I have been suffering with a cold, throat infection and sinus trouble for a few days. Today i used menthol crystals to try and clear my nose and head. I felt the urge to sniff up and felt something go down my throat. I coughed it up and it s a big lump of gristle with blood and vein in it. It looks like a polyp but i am unsure. What else could it be?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
as your problem is acute, most likely possibility is that of a polyp,bt it can only be confirmed after a 0" degree endoscopy and excision biopsy of the specimen. please visit an ENT specialist at the earliest.
in the meantime, you need to have a broad spectrum antibiotic along with antiinflammatory and anti allergic agents. also add a chlorhexidine gargle thrice daily.
