What Causes Irritation Between The Base Of The Nasal Passage And Throat?
Hello, for the past few days the area that connects my throat and nose has been extremely irritated, and it had become hard for me to swallow. I do not have a cold or problems with my sinuses, but I am wondering if this is the beginning stages to strep?

Hi Dear,
welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of irritation between the base of the nasal passage and throat which is because infection travel down the respiratory tract and affected whole area and leads to granular pharyngitis and sinusitis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult your ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may perform laryngoscopy or biopsy to confirm diagnosis . He/she may prescribe further antibiotic course and stronger antibiotics. You should put xylomist nasal drops to prevent congestion. You should take chicken soup along with along with lemon tea. Take diet rich in vitamin C. Take combination of Sinarest along with Levocetirizine. Take decongestant nasal sprays containing mucinex for instant relief.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
