Question 1

ive had a dry cough for a couple weeks now, post nasal drip, runny nose, sore throat every now and then, i think im starting to develop a fever and im getting lightheaded/feeling faint when i stand and walk & slight body aches. do i have covid19?

Accepted Answer

Hard to guess.: You have some of the  symptoms of cold , flu and covid19 . Also you appear to be dehydrated. But you are young and no mention of any underlying medical condition. So, i  think you are not vulnerable.  Drink at least 6 cups of water a day. Probably need self isolation for 2 weeks and to be tested in mean time for covid19 if you develop breathing problem. Contact to your doctor for a guidance.

Question 2

is it possible to have some kind of sinus infection without the nasal drainage/post nasal drip?

Accepted Answer

Yes it is possible: Yes you can have, especially frontal sinusitis.

Question 3

i am experiencing  nasal congestion, nasal drainage, runny nose, sneezing, post nasal drip and sinus pain.

Accepted Answer

Symptoms: Am not sure what the actual question is. Congestion – saline nose drops or netti pot. For anti-inflammatory effect &amp; mobilizing mucus- homemade chicken noodle soup.  Hydrate- lots of water/clear broth/ add honey &amp; a small amt. of lemon juice to Chamomile tea. Fever/ pain – acetaminophen / NSAID’s  Rest!!

Question 4

i am experiencing  nasal congestion (stuffiness), nasal drainage, post nasal drip, chills. on aura amoxicillin 3x500. can i take advil sinus?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can: unless you have a contraindication, like hypertension, but no interaction with amoxicillin, rest and fluids are important too together with saline nasal washes, would help you out, if no improvement, call or visit your doctor

Question 5

good day ,can post nasal drip and usage of drixine cause nasal drainage ? dry to sore throat and mild coughing with white phlegm

Accepted Answer

The Drixine Is Bad: Nasal decongestants help congestion but at a price... they wear off and you end up stuffier than ever.

Check with an ENT physician to rule out deviated septum’s, allergies, sinusitis, nasal polyps, etc etc.

Question 6

i am experiencing heart palpitations and nasal congestion. the following also describe me: nasal drainage, difficulty breathing through nose, post nasal drip, runny nose, feeling anxious, sneezing, sore throat, cough, and thick saliva or mucus. ?

Accepted Answer

Nasal congestion : Your symptoms are consistent with an upper respiratory infection which could be viral or bacterial. You did not note how long you have had symptoms. If over 7-10!days would recommend seeing an ENT specialist to see if you need antibiotics.. also would check your pulse , not sure if the palpitations are from medicine you are taking or your illness.

Question 7

i am experiencing nasal congestion, sneezing (unaffected by: recent exposure to allergens, exposure to secondhand smoke), sore throat, itchy eyes, ear pressure, nasal drainage, post nasal drip, eye irritation, runny nose, and watery eyes. i am not experie

Accepted Answer

Itching /congestion: With the itching could be seasonal allergies would consider Benadryl 1/2 to 1 tab at bedtime and Zyrtec during the day . Itching  is pretty specific for allergies.  If worsens  or develops fever would seek medical attention for sinusitis versus viral  infection including coronavirus these days   but as stated itching  is pretty diagnostic of allergies.

Question 8

how do you stop post nasal drip after a flu?

Accepted Answer

Nasal drip: Usually a combination of a decongestant and and antihistamine is effective.

Question 9

will i ihave post nasal drip after septoplasty? i'm guessing yes, since i've read you're not allowed to blow you nose. how bad will it be, and how long will it last?

Accepted Answer

The : The nose will be a bit runny for up to a few weeks after surgery. The internal skin lining will be a bit inflammed after surgery which results in more nose drainage. It's not usually very severe, but this can vary from person to person. You can use a salt water rinse to help flush the nose which helps a lot with the healing process.

Question 10

can you get post nasal drip after a mono infection?

Accepted Answer

Symptoms of mono: Infectious mononucleosis is a highly contagious viral respiratory infection. It is known for its severe sore throat, which often causes doctors to administer antibiotics, which then cause rashes. It is also known for causing profound fatigue and an enlarged spleen and tender lymph nodes elsewhere. All the regular respiratory symptoms, like post nasal drainage, runny nose and cough can also occur.
