Question 1

have had chronic post nasal drip for 3 weeks. have noticed a small hard lump on the back of tongue near throat and throat is sore when i swallow. any?

Accepted Answer

Drip unrelated: Post nasal drip does not induce  growth of an intra oral lesion.  Tumors on the tongue most often occur in the anterior 1/3.  These appear as ulcers on the lateral side of the tongue.  A small number of lesions grow in posterior 1/3 just before the epiglottis.  It can be felt as a firm mid line   lump and   should be checked by H&amp;N surgeon.  If bx +,  excision is by transhyoid pharyngotomy.

Question 2

i have had a sore throat for 4 months, it hurts more some days than others, red throat, post nasal drip, heartburn, white coated tongue, golden staph+?

Accepted Answer

No staph: with coated tongue and sore throat it appears thrush caused by candida. Ask you PCP if Mycelex (clotrimazole) Troches are the right choice for you

Question 3

i have post nasal drip, throat clearing, soreness @upper rear of mouth/top of throat. intermittent feeling of throat being restricted?not gerd/allergy

Accepted Answer

See ENT: I believe you need an ENT consult to evaluate your throat situation. You may not have GERD but possibly LPR (laryngopharyngeal reflux) which is not neccessarily associated with heart burns. Your ENT doctor should be able to help you on this issue.

Question 4

my mouth has been giving me problems, like post nasal drip and sore throat and yellow spot on tonsils and red line, i got a std test done in july after having sex since april and it was negative for everything and in sep hiv test and nothing whatisit?

Accepted Answer

: Difficult to diagnose without exam. Pl see ENT or your doc. In the meantime do warm salt water gargles few times a day. Good luck.

Question 5

i have a sore throat with nasal drainage and small red scratchy bumps on the roof of my mouth. could this be related to allergies?

Accepted Answer

: More likely common cold. Show to a Dr.

Question 6

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 7

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 8

can you get sore glands from chronic post nasal drip?

Accepted Answer

No, not usually.: Glands will swell for weeks after an upper respiratory infection, which causes drainage (briefly), but you said "chronic". I noticed gastritis and Prilosec on your profile. Are you sure post nasal drip isn't from GERD? Happens a lot. But look for other reasons for cervical gland pain or swelling. See your primary care, make sure your glands aren't a sign of something serious.

Question 9

can bumps on back of tongue be a symptom of post nasal drip from mucus buildup.

Accepted Answer

Possibly: The bumps on the back of your tongue may be irritated papillae.  They may also be the signs of something other than the post nasal drip, so an appointment with either your dentist or family physician  is in prder.

Question 10

can post nasal drip make your uvula red and sore?

Accepted Answer

: If the post nasal drip is from an active infection then it could affect the uvula. Usual post-nasal drip a chronic issue and would not result in inflammation of uvula.
