Any Suggestions For Mucus Drainage In Throat And Coughing?
I have constant drainage of mucus dripping into my throat and my head and nose are full of mucus. I am constantly clearing my through, coughing and blowing my nose. Musinex sinus medicine and antibiotics do nothing for this problem. I had an operation for a deviated septum last February and it did not seem to help. Do you have any suggestions???
The symptoms as mentioned in your post suggest that you might be having Allergic tracheo-bronchitis. Examination of the throat using a laryngoscope and X ray of the chest will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis.
Management includes: 1.Antihistamine preparations like Allegra & Cough expectorant syrup for symptomatic relief. 2. Montelukast preparations- used as a maintenance therapy. 3. A course of antibiotics may be taken to prevent secondary bacterial attack. 4. Maintain adequate hydration & take a healthy balance diet. 5. Also make sure that you are well protected from cold, dust & other allergens.
Wishing you a good health. Take care.
