Why am I having itchy throat and stuffy nose after allogenic bone marrow transplant?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am an 18-year-old girl. I have been a patient of beta thalassemia major. Recently an allogeneic bone marrow transplant was conducted (70 days since transplant). Before this, I had no history of any allergy or rash or another disease other than thalassemia. Recently, I have felt an itchy throat and stuffy nose only on one side of the nose that opens and closes when I lie down. Moreover, due to an itch, there is a cough. No nasal drippings.
Kindly help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Your symptoms are suggestive of an upper respiratory tract infection, possibly allergic inflammation. I suggest you investigate with CBC for primary workup. Meanwhile, a decongestant can be prescribed for your symptoms. You can drink warm water that helps in soothing the throat. A salt-added lukewarm water gargle can be beneficial. Avoid the intake of excess spicy foods.
I hope this helps.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
