I have been having cold and phlem for the past 5 months. The phlem is green and thick. Of late, my nose gets blocked and I find it difficult to blw my nose coz the phlem is very thick. Also I get a head ache very frequently. I am also highly acidic and I suspect all these are connected. My general physician gave me medicines for the cold and the acidity. But I am not rid of either. Please advice.
Hi, I did review your concern. I believe your symptoms can be due to what we call as chronic sinusitis where there is infection of paranasal sinuses, and it causes sinus tenderness, headache and nose block with fled. I would advise you to take steam inhalations to open up your sinuses and also take antibiotics under medical supervision after getting investigated. A CT paranasal sinus is needed to confirm diagnosis as well as to rule out any cause of blockage. Forever, if the symptoms persist, you can then consult an ENT doctor who can surgically open the opening of the sinus so that it Chat Doctor. I hope this helps. Wish you a very healthy and happy life ahead.
