Question 6

what's the best way to address a post nasal drip cough and sore throat. i am currently taking allegra once a day. would a nasal spray help me more?

Question 7

my 6 year old son has a sore throat, cough and nose is blocked and now complaining about ears being sore. started yesterday and giving him rinex, broncol, mybulen and iladin basil spray... what can i give for sore throat?

Accepted Answer

: I would recommend having his doctor examine him as he is already taking many medications for his symptoms. The Mybulen has a combination of several pain medications, so there is no other pain medication to give in combination with that. He should also have his ears checked to see if he has an ear infection. He may need a test for strep throat also. Hope he feels better soon.

Question 8

hi dr i started having sore throat this morning and i used andolex spray but now it has complicated from sore throat to irritating cough than i got my self benylin dry cough mixture.  now i'm having tight chest with wheezing accompanied by shortness?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: A primary care doctor can evaluate to see if there is a cold (viral infection), a strep throat (bacterial and would need antibiotics), a sinus infection, allergies in the nose and sinuses, wheezing in the lungs (would need more asthma treatment), sinusitis symptoms, etc...  One can have one or more of these issues at the same time. Wheezing can be serious, meaning a doctor exam or the ER can help.

Question 9

i have clogged sinus everyday. i wake up with a sore throat. i have shortness of breath everyday but no cough. i did try nasal spray but my nose starts bleeding and get heart pulplatations. i am unsure what to do?

Accepted Answer

Possible allergy : You may have a sinus infection or an allergic reaction. If you have a fever, please discuss treatment for chronic sinusitis with your PCP. Nasal saline rinses may be helpful in either case. The use of nasal steroids may be associated with bleeding. Direct the nozzle away from the septum ( middle) and use as prescribed. Avoid dust, mold, pollen and animal dander.
