Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 30-year-old male. Ever since my 20's I have had a constant uncomfortable accumulation of mucus in my sinuses, and the pressure would cause headaches. And I eventually learned to suck it out of my sinus into my mouth to spit out or swallow. And I continuously do that now all day. I cannot feel any air passage in my ears when I yawn with some vague crackling sounds.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
What is the color of the mucus? Is it white, yellow, or green? Do you have a fever? Do you have any chronic disease like diabetes?
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
I have no fever nor chronic disease. The mucus is white, but I think it is slightly yellow when concentrated in the morning. My nose is not stuffy or runny at all. It all just goes straight to my throat. I am allergic to some things, such as hazelnuts and grass. I tried a Fluticasone propionate nasal spray earlier today, but my body was aching by the end of the day, and I had a headache. I am not sure if I should continue.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Yes, you have to continue the nasal spray until the last puff. I think that it is allergic rhinitis. The next step if the intranasal corticosteroid spray does not work well would be immunotherapy. You can add an oral antihistamine as Loratidine tablets once daily until the end of symptoms. Drink warm fluids as it can make the mucus more liquid to be easily expelled.
