Question 1

i have sinus drainage in back of throat and when i clear my throat i spit out green bloody mucus. is this a indication of a sinus infection or cold?

Accepted Answer

#1 Sinus infection: When mucus is not clear or white, you've probably got infection. The green tells me it's been awhile and blood that it's very badly irritated. See a doctor - I'm cautious w/ antibiotics but this is a green light. Clear it up and discuss ways to prevent recurrence. It's why your face hurts too. You'll feel much better soon - call ASAP.

Question 2

constant sinus drainage in throat make glands hurt or is it an infection?

Accepted Answer

Sinus drainage: Sinus react to stimulus that cause the lining to release fluids in the attempt to clear them out. Concurrently throat pain indicates a wider area of stimulus to the body by an allergy, cold or virus. This needs evaluation by a md.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Have checked: The only good way to determine if something is abnormal or not is to have it evaluated by either a dentist or physician. I would suggest having it looked at by one of those health care providers.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

No: No. Sounds like a sinus problem. See ENT doc for advice.

Question 5

Postnasal drip: Postnasal drip, or mucous draining down from your sinuses, will not cause numbness unless perhaps you used a nasal spray that has some numbing medicine in it.

Question 6

i have drainage down the back of my throat, is it allergies or sinus?

Accepted Answer

Post nasal drip: Post nasal drip is a very common occurrence in both allergies and from infections. Thus, the symptom of post nasal drip does not point towards one over the other.

Question 7

what can i take with zoloft (sertraline) for sinus drainage?  i feel luke i have something stuck in the left side of my throat

Accepted Answer

Why: Don't you just start by gargling with warm salt water? This can decrease inflammation, kill germs and reduce pain or discomfort. Take care.

Question 8

my son had a fever a few days ago and now has sores on his throat. can it be from sinus drainage if the fever is gone? or is it the dreaded strep?

Accepted Answer

Strep is possible: While strep is possible this could also be a virus.  Specifically either hand, foot and mouth disease or gingivostomatitis.  Both are caused by viruses. I would suggest you have him examined to better clarify what is going on.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Inflamed - see ENT: Your esophagus sounds like it's inflamed, probably from the gerd. Sinus drainage causes post nasal drip which can feel like something stuck in the throat. See an ent.

Question 10

have sinus in head with drainage causing soar throat and occasional body aches for the past week?

Accepted Answer

See your pcp: Sinus infections will often clear on their own.  Indications for treatment with antibiotics are when they persist for 10 days or more, cause significant discomfort or fevers. Your aches are likely secondary to infection and are a result of your immune response to your infection.
