Good evening,,i have alot of mucus even while am not sick,which medicine should i use to stop mucus

Female | 22

Dealing with e­xcess mucus without illness fee­ls very bothersome. The­ mucus might happen due to allergie­s, irritants, or weather changes. An ove­r-the-counter saline nasal spray he­lps. It thins mucus, so you clear your nose easie­r. But read instructions carefully on medication labe­ls.

I'm having nasal congestion, and there is swelling on septum wall deep in nose become of allergy

Male | 24

You appear to be coping with nasal congestion and your nose is swollen due to allergies. A situation when your body reacts to things like pollen and dust may cause your nose to feel stuffy, while the inside of your nose may get swollen. This may block the airways, thus making it difficult to breathe. You can try saline nasal spray to clear your nose and avoid things that trigger your allergies. If it continues, you should visit an allergist who will assist you in finding a suitable treatment for your allergies.

I am suffering from sinus problem and najal allergy since my childhood

Female | 20

Sinus issues are the usual culprits for stuffy or runny noses, headaches, and pressure around your eyes and nose. Nasal allergies occur when one's immune system reacts even to innocent substances like pollen or dust. The best way to manage this is by avoiding the triggers such as dust, using air filters, and taking allergy medications.

Dry throat is a condition that can be caused by several factors such as dehydration, infections, or even side effects of medications. You should be glad to know that your proactive approach has already been able to help you. To alleviate your dry throat try drinking more water, using humidifiers, and sucking on lozenges. If still the dryness persists, think of going back to your doctor for further assessment.
