What Causes Lump In The Throat Along With Running Nose And Wet Eyes?

I seem to end up with laryngitis...started with a lump in my throat yesterday and today I can hardly speak; also have a runny nose and wet eyes. This seems to happen often after I have been on a plane flight which was on Sunday when I returned from Cancun. In some cases it goes into my bronchial tubes. Is there anything that I can take now to stop the progression.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of lump in the throat along with running nose and wet eyes which is due to mainly upper respiratory tract infection. In your case it seems to me that the symptoms can be either due to allergic rhinitis or viral infection. I would suggest you to consult pulmonologist once. Get pulmonary function tests done as well to check extent of infection and start treatment accordingly. Doctor may order certain test like nose or throat culture and test , blood test , viral culture test and chest X-ray to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other condition like viral infection . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics , anti inflammatory and decongestants. You should take cough expectorants as well. Use mist humidifiers in room. Do warm saline gargles.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
