Question 1

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 2

have sinus drainage, constant lump in throat, stomach grumbling for 1 week. antacids do not help? is this drainage or gerd that will not go away?

Accepted Answer

Sinus and GERD: Looks like a combination of both. Try OTC claritin, (loratadine) flonase and prilosed and see your doctor.

Question 3

can constant sinus drainage cause tonsillitis with white patches on tonsils and slight burning sensation in throat?

Accepted Answer

See long answer: Not exactly. Tonsillitis actually an infection of the tonsils by bacteria or viruses.  White patches in tonsils can be accumulation of food or mucous in the crypts of the tonsils when you swallow.  When you have a lot of mucous such as when you have a cold or allergies the white debris increases in the tonsils.  Gargling and spitting 1/4 strength hydrogen peroxide might help.

Question 4

is a constant sore throat & drainage a chronis sinus  infection ?

Accepted Answer

Usually not: It may be due to anything from acid refluxing from your stomach while you sleep to allergies to an early, easy-to-treat throat cancer.  A physician office visit is indicated if it lasts two weeks or more.  I'm glad you're taking a pro-active approach to your health and i wish you luck.

Question 5

got a cold 1 wk ago. having constant drainage causing throat congestion and coughing. no fever. is it sinus infection?

Accepted Answer

Possible: If your symptoms of congestion have lasted beyond a week, it usually result in secondary bacterial infection of the sinuses. For now you can try OTC sinus congestion relief, Vicks vaporub, Claritine or Zyrtec, (cetirizine) but should plan to get examined in a couple of days if still congested. Feel better!

Question 6

constant throat and right airway clearing and congestion, been treated for sinus drainage and gerd but has not resolved. ct and xrays are clear?

Accepted Answer

Allergy?: This could be an allergy. Have you noticed a difference between environments, time of day variation?

Question 7

sinus drainage, all clear mucous, post nasal drip in back of throat, clearing throat constantly, just started getting body aches, but no fever?

Accepted Answer

What's the question?: The symptoms sound like a viral respiratory infection ("cold").  Unless you develop a high fever, severe cough, chest pain, or shortness of breath, no antibiotics or specific medicines will help. The best treatments are rest, lots of fluids, a nasal decongestant or antihistamine if you are uncomfortably  congested or need to just dry the drip, and a non-prescription pain reliever if needed.

Question 8

i have these weird red spots on the roof of my mouth and back of my throat.no pain and itches sometimes dry mouth sinus drainage in throat only?

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 9

sinus drainage cause white stinky things to form in your throat, is this normal?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 10

can sinus drainage cause throat numbness?

Accepted Answer

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.
