Suggest Treatment For Drainage From Sinus And Feeling Of Throwing Up

I have a high volume of drainage from my sinus. It is nonstop and makes me want to clear my throat all the time, I even gag and want to throw up, I am not running a fever, but it keeps me awake most of the night.
I have taken just about everything over the counter, and inquired advise from the druggist , nothing seem to help. Can you ?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain it seems that you have infection and inflammation in the sinuses causing Sinusitis leading to post nasal drip.
I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like PNS View or MRI of sinuses can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly..
In case if Sinusitis is diagnosed the you can be advised to take a course of antibiotics like Augmentin or Levofloxacin, anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, antiallergics like Levocetrizine, decongestants like Phenylephrine, mucolytics like Ambroxol..You can also do steam inhalations, use decongestant nasal sprays and do saline nasal irrigations..
Do warm compresses around the nose..
Avoid chilled foods and airconditioned atmosphere..
Use a humidifier in your room..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
