Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

I have read your concern.

Bad taste in throat as well as thick mucous can be due to throat infection.

I B S can lead into bad breath.

So,i advice you to get a thorough scaling done.

Maintain oral hygiene well.

Brush and floss your teeth as well as tongue daily.

Use ch lo r hex i d i n e mouth rinse to gargle.

Please do visit a GP for further treatment procedures.

Take care.

Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.
Mucus at the back of your throat and foul breath go in favour of infection in your sinuses. The postnasal drip or mucus in your throat is resulting from sinusitis. I would recommend you to take steam inhalations to liquefy the mucus. Take an antibiotic like amoxicillin and an antiallergic like cetirizine, in consultation with your doctor. Hopefully you should do well, since you have had it only for 3 days. If not better, you need a Specialist opinion for the same.
Do let me know, if you have any further questions.

Take care
Dr Vaishali Mehta

Mucus in the throat can occur in either chronic sinusitis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. You will need a Chest Xray PA view & Xray PNS OM view for proper diagnosis. Statistically 0.11% IBS patients may have similar symptoms mainly due to steroid induced infection of throat.
