Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My left nostril has been stuffy and when i blow my nose it looks nothing like snot... its yellow stuff and its very liquidy... i also have this taste in the back of my throat that kinda tastes like eggs... i can only taste it in the back of my throat when i sniffle/inhale through my nose deeply.
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..
As per your complain the symptoms stuffy nostril along with yellow snot and pot nasal drip leading to egg like taste at the back of throat can be due to causes like: -Sinus infection or Sinusitis. -Upper Respiratory tract infection.
I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and he can do a clinical examination and if sinus infection is suspected he can advise PNS view x ray of sinuses or MRI scan, nasal endoscopy etc..
You can be given a course of antibiotics, anti inflammatory painkillers, decongestants like Pseudoephadrine, decongestant nasal sprays containing Xylometazoline,saline nasal irrigation,s team inhalation and use a humidifier in your room..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards. Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
