I’ll have the sore throat, which hurts much worse when I swallow, for several days while also sneezing and having itchy eyes and nose. Then the post nasal drip coughing starts. I feel tickling in my throat so bad that it causes me to cough uncontrollably. I also have to blow my nose constantly as huge amounts of mucus is being produced. The mucus is clear but eventually turns yellow at the end of the illness.
Hello,
This smell thaty you are having from your sinuses can be due to post nasal drip. Post-nasal drip (PND) occurs when excessive mucus is produced by the sinuses. The excess mucus accumulates in the throat or back of the nose. It can be caused by rhinitis, sinusitis, or laryngopharyngeal acid reflux. It can be enhanced or sometimes even caused by allergies.In your case,I feel sinuses are the causes.
Hi, a deviated nasal septum can cause an obstruction to breathing and correction will ensure that your symptoms will improve. But this may not help correct the post nasal drip. Post nasal drip could be due to a sinus infection, a cold or a chronic allergy. These can lead to a post nasal drip and lead to an irritation in the throat. It could be sinusitis, if it is accompanied by nasal stuffiness and facial pain or pressure. Post nasal drip could also be due to allergens.
**PLEASE READ** I've suffered for almost 2 decades with chronic post nasal drip and bad breath because of it. I'm currently 26 now and the last 2 weeks I went on an anti candida diet where I did not consume sugars/carbohydrates to kill off excess yeast. I ate lots of raw garlic with my foods.
That still didn't help with the post nasal drip or stinky mucus. I read more on this site and someone wrote about grape fruit seed extract mixed in with a saline spray...
It then moved away from those symptoms and turned into nasal congestion and post-nasal drip, also had persistent cough and yellow mucus was still being coughed up, just didnt feel as deep as before.
Here are some photos I took of my throat. I can manipulate the uvula and throat which allowed me to capture some of these pictures.
Basically my main problem is post nasal drip. I constantly have this feeling in the back of my throat like something is there, and I constantly and sucking out/coughing out and spitting out mucus (white and clear). However, at random times during the day I have these short periods (last about 5 minutes or so) where I feel like I can't breathe. It's a very strange feeling....

Sinus infections can cause stuffiness of the nose with nasal blockage, which can make breathing through the nose difficult. It can also cause post nasal drip and lead to an irritation in the throat.

Hi, I'm a 25 year old male currently suffering with month long post-nasal drip, aswell as indigestion (usually belching after eating, and intermittent nausea which is sometimes worse at night).
At first, i had a dry cough for about one week that slowly began to produce yellow phlegm in my throat after eating.
It could be sinusitis, if it is accompanied by nasal stuffiness and facial pain or pressure. Post nasal drip could also be due to allergens. These are substances like pollen, dust, animal dander, certain foods, insect venoms and certain medications. Exposure to allergens causes a runny nose with a resultant post nasal drip where secretions from the nose go backward into the throat and irritate causing cough. Cough is a protective mechanism by the body as it helps to prevent infections.

Thanks
He also ask me if I have any allergies but I couldn't answer because I don't know ;0.
Hello, I only joined this forum in the hope I may get some tips on how to alleviate some of the problems I have with this complaint, I think I must have suffered with Post nasal drip for a couple of years. The very worst and most depressing symptom I have is the awful feeling of thick phlegm at the back of my throat some days it makes me gag.
Unlike the colds of the past, where the symptoms almost always would be a massive sore throat that would last for a couple of days, followed by nasal congestion, post nasal drip, yellow and green mucus drainage, and that incessant cough, this year has seen all the above along with chest congestion. It's hard to sleep at night, because the chest congestion builds up and I have to get up and cough my head off to get all the congestion out.
And now I am left with what seems like post nasal drip but does not really make sense. We thought laryngitis but it has not reacted like it would it has been going on for over 3 weeks. Below is the latest idea I had on the cause of this if anyone could help with it I would be grateful. And would the z-pack be effective if this from the huge hole in my tooth that food gets stuck in. It is an upper tooth.
I am back on azithromycin z-pak because my throat has not cleared up .
Has anyone found any help for this "chronic cough" condition???

In the meantime for relief from your symptoms you could do warm salt gargles and take OTC antihistamines.

I have been to 3 doctors and been on meds for post nasal drip, asthma. I had my thyroid out in Oct; because it was enlarged and closing up my trachia but that didn't help. Have had xrays and cat scans and everything looks good. It seems to coming from my throat area. sometimes i cough so hard that i almost pass out. I'm really at wits end. Any suggestions?
The ENT could not see anything in my throat and the gastro believed that it was post nasal drip related to allergies (which I do have). Went back to the ENT who said it was NOT from post nasal drip and prescribed Nexium 40mg twice daily, although i feel no heartburn. During this time I also had a barium swallow which showed acid reflux and an endoscopy which did not show anything.
I also expirience nausea but it is in my neck.
