What Causes Lumps In Throat With Acid Reflux Post A Postnasal Drip?
I just rececently got postnasal drip and with 2 days it's gotten really thick where im swallowing a lump in my throat and now I can't breath out of my nose, and I'm having a hard time breathing. I'm using over the counter products but it nothing is working. I'm getting acid reflux, a bad cough and I'm really tired. Do you think I should see my doctor? I'm wondering if it's turning into an infection?

Hi,
It is possible you are developing an infection. Try paracetamol and ibuprofen, steam inhalations and nasal decongestants. You may have nasal polyps so I suggest you see an ENT doctor for a full assessment.
