This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 40-year-old female. I constantly feel mucus coming into my throat and severe nausea. I have stopped all acidic foods for the past one week but still, have the same issue. Currently, I am using tablet Tums and tablet Pepcid AC. Kindly let me know the reason for my complaints. Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for writing, and I understand your concern. Your complaints can be due to increased stomach acid. Since when are you experiencing the symptoms? Did you get any investigations done? Do you have a history of recent respiratory tract infection or COVID 19 infection? Do you have a history of diabetes, hypertension, or fever? Kindly revert with the answers so that I can help you better. Thank you.
