I ve been having sinus drainage for the past 3 months (during day and night)....cough and vomiting saliva and light mucous. I m in my mid 40 s. The doctor seems to think it s asthma or allergies. Now taking asthma medicine and on inhalers. Nothing is helping...
Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and would like to know more about your symptoms like - Do you have regurgitation after taking a full meal/spicy meal, especially in lying down position? Have you ever had wheezing/breathing difficulty? Are you regularly/frequently exposed to dust/smokes/air pollution? Do you have any other allergies? Etc. From your given history, I would like to make following suggestions for you:1. Were I treating you, I would prescribe you regular montelukast, an antihistamine like cetirizine/levocetirizine and an antacid like omeprazole/pantoprazole/omeprazole before each meal for at least 2-4 weeks.2. I would also suggest you regular steam inhalation (please be cautious to avoid burns) and nasal irrigation with saline sprays, which will help better Chat Doctor. 3. If you have not received antibiotics in last 3 months, I would prescribe you an antibiotic for 14 days.4. Please avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible.5. Regular breathing exercise and a healthy diet rich in vitamins & minerals (adequate amounts of green leafy vegetables, fruits, sprouts, etc.) will also help you in a long run. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish you a rapid recovery and the best of the health. Thank you & Regards.
