Have Cold, White Mucus Discharge. Taking Ayurvedic Medications. Is It Sinus?
Hi, Since 2.5months I am suffering from cold.White mucus drips down from the respiratory track into the throat. The problem of Mucus is more in the morning and in the evening. I took 3 courses of antibiotics, Ayurvedic medicines for 3 weeks and homeopathy medicines for 10days. I have never faced such a problem before. What can be the reason for this? Is it due to allergy , Sinus or something else? What kind of treatment do you suggest?

thanks for asking question.
as there is post nasal drip, its mostly a diagnostic of sinus infection and if you have recurrent sneezing and itching in nose and throat suggest allergic in origin. just avoid allergens like dust, fumes, very hot or very cold water, any eatables that precipitate attack. take some topical steroids Like Mometasone nasal spray to decrease the post nasal drip and inflammation along with it take antihistaminics like tab levocetrizine or fexofenadin. this will solve your problem. thank you so much for using HCM
