Suggest Treatment For Sneezing, Runny Nose, Scratchy Throat And Tongue
Hello! I have had a recent flare up of allergies that have resulted in a great deal of sneezing, runny nose, and scratchy throat and tongue. Occasionally to alleviate the itching at the back of the tongue, I rub the tongue on the top of the back of my mouth. It seems that I have developed a little skin tag (that looks very similar to how a skin tag would look on the body). It is pink/red (same color as the tongue), but it kind of sticks up a little (i.e. it is not flat against the tongue). Is this something that might go away on it's own? Is it attributable to the allergy symptoms I have been dealing with over the past week? It is not painful, but I can feel it there. Thank you!

Hi Welcome to healthcaremagic,
As per your query, here are some remedies for cold, running nose and sore throat.
1.Saltwater gargle- gargling several times a day with warm salt water can reduce swelling in the throat and loosen mucus, helping to flush out irritants or bacteria.Dissolve half a teaspoon of salt in one cup of water. Just remember to spit the water out after gargling, rather than swallowing.
2.Steam Inhalation can be done
3.You can take acetaminophen or paracetamol,it helps to reduce swelling and pain.
4.Lozenges and spray-Sucking on cough drops stimulates saliva production, which can help keep your throat moist
5.Honey, ginger paste taken with hot milk is good for cough reduction.
Visit a ENT specialist, if problem persist
