My mother had an endoscopy two weeks ago and since then has been bothered by a persistent runny nose. (No allergies or cold or dairy intake to blame this on.) It started right after and hasn't stopped. Is it related and what is the solution?
hello may i know what's the reason for her endoscopy? we have been doing endoscopy to our patients but none of them experienced persistent runny nose after the procedure..maybe her nasal mucosa reacted to the endoscope, don't know if its clean or what but you can try Sodium ChlorideNasal Spray 2-3 spray 3x a day to her nostrils to wash off debris from the scope that caused the symptoms..and try taking Antiallergies like Loratadine 1 tab OD around 7 days will do..
