ENT Specialist,  's  Response
Hello

Thanks for consulting H.C.M.

I read your query regarding stuffy nose, which is inflammed and hurts on breathing and gradualy you felt loss of voice and chest pain.

As per your symptoms it appears as your nasal infection has spreads to involve entire respiratory tract including larynx and giving you loss of voice (Laryngopharyngitis ). Due to respiratory tract infection excess mucous is secreted and thus giving rise to chest infection.

To treat it you should take-

(a) Mucolytic & expectorant.

(b) Steam inhalation.

(c) Tab cetrizine.

I hope your query is answered.

Regards.
