I ve been suffering from a cough that I think comes from a build up of thick mucus which I can t cough up. I m told that it s probably post nasal drip and taken different nasal sprays prescribed by my doctor and I can t get it to go away. It feels like glue stuck in both my nasal and throats passages. Help!!!!
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The cough may come due to post nasal drip. You can take Desloratadine, an antihistamine to stop mucus production. Also rinse nose with saline water. Humidify air and stay in a steamy sink for few minutes that helps to clean off the secretions. Also can use Otrivinnasal spray to help relieve nasal congestion.
Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
