Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have breathlessness with swelling and mucus in the nasal membrane and mouth are the symptoms which are pointing towards upper respiratory tract infection/ sinusitis , which can be caused by bacterial or viral infection. I t could be due to laryngitis which leads to inflammation of vocal cards. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order test like viral culture test , throat swab test and blood test to confirm the diagnosis and rule out causes. you should go for get laryngoscopy as well. Doctor may prescribe anti bacterial amoxicillin or anti viral acyclovir depending upon the diagnosis along with decongestants . For now continue doing gargles and drink one spoon of honey mix with glass of lukewarm water. You should take steam inhalation along with vaporizers. Avoid hot, sharp , spicy food. You should take steam inhalation along with vaporizers. Spray humidifiers in room.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
