Why Hasn T Advil Helped With Patches On Back Of Throat, Head Congestion, Pins And Needles In Mouth And Sore Throat?

Hello, I m 43 female who woke up yesterday with a scratchy throat becoming worse as the day progressed. I worked a 12 hour shift and couldn t talk by the time I got home due to throat pain feels like pins and needles when I open my mouth and can barely swallow. I have had head congestion due to allergies for weeks but there white patches on the back of my throat that look like blisters. Chicken broth is all I can get down and water but even that hurts I am nauseous and coughing up mucus and sneezing which is very painful for my throat. Fever is down from 102.9 to 101.8 after taking Advil and I am achy all over.

Allergist and Immunologist 's  Response
these are symptomps of allergic sinusitis as the antibiotic is not answet
there are infections of sinuses in allergy andinfected mucus discharge comes down in throat causing the problems writtenby you
and other are aso sign of allergy
infection in sinus is cause of fever
you need short course of sinus specific anti allergics tab
antipyretic sos for fever
anti allergic couh syp antacids
in my opinion this can control the symptomps but need to consult ent doctor to treat it as allergy to prevent recurence if you follow my advise
