Question 3

Wake up every morning with thick stringy white mucus, partial stuffy nose. difficult to swallow. on antihistamines and take nasal spray?

Accepted Answer

Frequently indoor allergies manifest as night time or morning symptoms of congestion, nasal discharge and post nasal drip.  While medications are helpful (antihistamines and nasal sprays), allergy testing (for dust mite, mold, feathers, etc) to identify if there is a specific trigger could lead to avoidance measures resulting in improvement with less medications!

Question 4

I have etd(clicking on swallow, varying tinnitus) from last 6months, my doctor saying- go to the gym and use nasal spray. is that the solution?

Accepted Answer

The term etd presumably means eustachian tube dysfunction, a rather non specific term used by general physicians.  Firstly, everybody should have some noise in the ear when swallowing because when that tube opens, air reaches the middle ear and the ear drum moves (clicking).  Varying tinnitus is shared by millions of people and if not associated with hearing loss, do not worry.  Exercise is good.

Question 5

I am prescribed a steroidal nasal spray for sinitius. whenever i take it i can feel it dripping down and taste of it. is there can be serious effect if it gets swallowed?? i have also started facing hair loss can this be a reason??

Accepted Answer

There are several ways to handle this, including using saline nasal spray to help wash the allergens in combination with the steroid. You could also use water to swish and spit after using the spray to reduce the swallowing. There is systemic effect of swallowed steroid but it is not as bad as in taking dosed oral steroid. Hair loss could be due to several factors including androgens and stress.
