Have Sinus Infections And Coughed Up Mucus. What Could It Be? How Can I Get Better Quickly?

I have been having problems with my sinus running down my throat at night for several days (3-4) and My throat is extremely raw and hurts to swallow, it s almost gagging. I just started coughing today and it s a very hard forceful cough, and when I cough I get the bitterest taste in the back of my mouth. I ve never tasted anything like this before, but i m not coughing anything up. I ve had sinus infections and coughed up mucus before, this tastes completely different. What could it be, and how can I get better quickly? Thanks

Welcome to Heaalthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

The dry cough which you are experiencing is mainly because of throat congestion and irritative symptoms.

I would suggest you following

1. Tablet Sinarest taken three times a day will help relieve throat congestion
2. Warm Saline Gargling: A glass of Lukewarm water+ 2 spoons of common table salt gargle at four to six times a day
3. Steam Inhalation
$. Boil Milk ( I Cup) with 10 leaves of Tulsi+ 2 black pepper+ 1 spoon of Turmeric+ Bit of ginger, bring it to boil and consume sips of it hot. Consume it 3 to 4 times a day

Do write to me if you need any further assisatnace

I hope it helped
Do get back to me if you have any other query


Take Care
Wishing you and your family a happy and healthy life
