My ENT Says I Need A Balloon Devise Put Up

default
Posted on Mon, 8 Jul 2019
Question: My ENT says I need a balloon devise put up my nose to make it so I don't get buildup of bacteria and whatnot. He tested me and found "Heavy growth of Escherichia coli, as well as a strong biofilm and positive for moderate amount of MarCons with resistance to Clindamycin, erythromycin, methicillin, penicillin and levofloxacin. My GP gave me BEG (gentamicin, bactrian and EDTA) with mycotox. I felt ok the first couple of days doing it 3 times a day. Last night my throat was on fire after I sprayed. I refrigerated it and this morning it wasn't as bad...but.... last night I started feeling bad. Today I am worse. I feel flush, nauseated, diarrhea, no temp, and my head feels heavy. I can't reach my gp or my ent as they are both on vacation now. What can I do and should I be concerned? Is it herx? How can I alleviate the symptoms? Thank you!

Detailed Answer:
Hii. If you are having recurrent sore throat, allergic nose symptoms then you are having allergic pharyngitis and rhinitis. In that case send a throat swab for culture and sensitivity. Start betadine gargle to keep your throat cleared off infection. Take some antacid so that acid reflux cannot cause inflammation of your throat. Do a x ray sinuses. Start some nasal spray fluticasone and solspray to decrease allergic reaction of your nose and you clear the nasal crushing and discharge. Drink plenty of water. Take steam inhalation. Don't take antibiotic on every occasion of sore throat. Try to gargle, lead healthy life, use steam inhalation. Do some nasal breath exercise to keep your nose free from allergens. Please review if you have any queries.
