What Causes Excessive Burping And Bad Breath While Treating Cold And Flu?

HI I recovered from a cold or flu this past week but have been feeling really tired. My face is red and warm, and I seem to have an odor coming from the back of my throat. I have an appetite but if I eat I am burping non stop and seem to have a thicker layer of saliva forming at the back of the tongue

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

The symptoms you are indicating are pointing towards sinus infection or Sinusitis..

I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation
and investigations like PNS view x ray or MRI scan can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done
accordingly..

You can be advised a course of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, decongestants
like Pseudoephadrine, do saline nasal irrigation, steam inhalation and use a humidifier in your room..
You can also be advised decongestant nasal sprays containing Xylometazoline or Oxymetazoline..
Avoid spicy and chilled foods..
Do warm compresses around nostrils..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
