Suggest Treatment For Irritation And Dryness In The Respiratory Tract

I have the nose clogged up for more than a week, the mouth, throat and lips dry. I feel all my respiratory system dry and irritated. The doctor gave me for 7 days doxycycline 100 mg tablet and 50 mcg/actuation nasal spray fluticasone. This treatment has nothing changed. What do you recommend except seeing my docteur if it s possible? Thank you

Hello

Thank you for trusting HCM

Respiratory tract most commonly prone for viral infection and allergies. It may present like dryness and irritation in respiratory tract.

Dry and low humid environment may cause dryness, and few toxic gases and air pollutents may produce same symptoms.

Drugs like anticholinergics, anti histamine drugs may produce same problem.

Use room humidifier, water vapor inhalation, use alternative antibiotics like azithromycin for once a day 5days. Drink plenty of water. still symptoms persist consult your doctor.
