Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat And Nasal Congestion
my mom is on cholesterol meds and blood pressure meds. She went to Europe and got a cold in sept this year. she has been sick since september. She is still coughing and has a consistent sore throat and nasal congestion. Doc has done blood tests that indicate some infection but they haven t been clear with what and she s been on many antibiotics and is still sick. she had lower back pain and pain under her rib but that seems OK. She is coughing up white bubbly phlegm that she says tastes like salt or alma selza, bitter. She says she fees so unwell. Her sinus is constantly congested, no and again she may have runny nose. Could any of this be mould allergy or food allergy Or side effects to her meds? I wonder if her gut flora is messed up from all the antibiotics and keeping her immune system down as well as her body in contents fight mode and super inflamed.so lots of inflammation. Also her liver is probably over loaded and this could also be causing more issues. Pls help! Thanks Lacey
Hi Welcome to HCM I appreciate your concern in my opinion she might be having Lung abscess chronic bronchitis or TB if I were her treating doctor I would have asked for sputum microscopy and culture X ray chest PA View blood profile like complete blood count ESR
meanwhile until diagnose confirmed give her multivitamins supplement with vitamin C
deep breathing exercises warm saline gargles and steam inhalation
Hope this helps her thanks for your question wish her a good health
