Suggest Treatment For Congestion And Breathing Trouble
Hi, I am 18 years old. I ve been experiencing congestion and difficulty breathing. My throat tightens up everytime I eat or drink and then it loosens up after a while. The pain is gone, all that is left is the tightness and slight itchiness. Its pretty scary, what sickness do I have?
Thanks for your question on HCM. It looks like upper respiratory tract infection (URTI). But we need to rule out lung infection. So get done chest x ray first. And if it is normal than mostly you are having URTI. Try to follow these. 1. Avoid hot, oily and spicy food. 2. Drink plenty of fluids. 3. Warm water gargles 5-6 times a day. 4. Start macrolide antibiotic. 5. Start antihistamines and anti inflammatory drugs.
