Suggest Treatment For Nauseous Feeling In Throat And Post Nasal Drip

Posted on Wed, 5 Aug 2015

Question: Hi, for the last few weeks I have had a nauseous feeling in my throat, its not in my tummy where you would feel it if you had a tummy bug etc, just the back of the throat. I tend to notice at times that I tense the back of my throat subconsciously and lift my soft palate. I am wondering whether this could be causing the sick feeling? I have post nasal drip after having Septorhinoplasty and mucus feeling too, but no lump in throat sensation. should I be concerned?

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX ,
Thanks for the query.

I have read your query and understand your concern.

In my opinion , infected post nasal drip (PND) & mucus feeling causes nauseous feeling in throat . Yes , PND causes sick feeling & nausea .

PND & mucus feeling is common after Septorhinoplasty .

If I were your treating Doctor for this case , I would advice
Saline nasal spray or rinse thrice daily to thin PND ,
Antiseptic chlorhexidine Mouth Wash twice daily &
Tab Rantac twice daily for nausea .

No need for too much concern . You will get relief .

Hope this information helpful to you .If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.

Regards.

Thanks for reply, my surgery was 2 years ago so not sure if the PND is related to this - the feeling seems to be worse whilst eating and for some time after. would PND cause this or is it more likely gastro related?

Brief Answer:
In your case , symptoms most probably because of combination of PND + GERD

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX ,
Thanks for the follow up query.

PND most commonly occurs because of allergy in nose . Also increase after surgery for some weeks .

In your case , symptoms most probably because of combination of PND + GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease).

I would advice , use complete treatment plan as advise .

You will get relief .
