About a month ago now I started coughing and having a stuffy nose, coughing up mucus and my tonsils hurt to swallow. THIS WILL NOT GO AWAY, Im not sure what all I was given but NOTHING has worked. What is this, will I need surgery to get rid of it? I wake up every morning with a horrible sore throat and cough I feel like I always have mucus in my chest that will never come up.
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should definitely consult ENT doctor and get done endoscopic examination of nose and throat. Possibility of allergic rhinitis or chronic tonsillitis is a more likely. You may need tonsillectomy if tonsils are enlarged and infected. You may need intranasal spray containing azelastin and fluticasone. Oral combination of antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti allergic (montelukast) is also good. Steam inhalation and warm water gargles 5-6 times a day are also beneficial. Don't worry, you will be alright but first consult ENT doctor and diagnose yourself. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
