Hello, my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concern.
I think that your symptoms are related to an upper
respiratory tract infection.
Some advices that I can give to you are :
-Stay Hydrated. An upper respiratory tract infection like a cold or flu causes postnasal drip.
-Try Lozenges and Hot Drinks. Try a menthol cough drop.
-Take Steamy Showers.
- Use a Humidifier.
-Remove Irritants From the Air.
-Take Medications to Treat Coughs.Decongestants relieve
nasal congestion by shrinking swollen nasal tissue and reducing mucus production. They dry up mucus in the lungs and open up the airway passages.Decongestants come in pills, liquids, and nasal sprays under many brand names. Look for
phenylephrine or
pseudoephedrine as the active ingredient in decongestants taken by mouth, but be careful. Overuse of decongestants can lead to excessive dryness, which can trigger a
dry cough.
-Cough suppressants and expectorants that thin out the mucus so one can more easily cough it up, she says.
Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help, thanks!
