Suggest Treatment To Sinus Infection
I have been ill for 3 weeks. Multiple trips to the doctors...2 antibiotic shots one steroid shot...and 5 different prescriptions. I was told it is a bad sinus infection but now I am noticing a flap skin on the top of my throat. It is not painful but is red and white. I can feel it when I swallow. It literally hangs down or will be stuck to the top of my throat. What is going on?

HI.
The flap skin on the top of your throat is called a polyp. This may be an antro-choanal polyp. I would advise you to first go for CT scan of the sinuses and blood tests.
Such a condition is not cured by medicines.
You need to undergo Surgery by an ENT Surgeon to remove the polyp, clear the sinuses or any other disease which may be associated with this.
