Why Large Amount Of Phelgm Is Coming From Sinus Causing Me To Burp?
lately I have been having regular nausea (without vomiting or ever feeling the need to actually vomit), excess burping, a feeling of constantly having mucus in the back of my throat which I am frequently swallowing. this often comes after I have suffered bad headaches. should I be worried about stomach cancer or does the mucus (I have allergies at this time of year) and the fact they come after headaches suggest I just have a large amount of phlegm coming from my sinuses which is making me queasy and burpy?

Hi Dear ,
As per your query you have phelgm coming from sinus and gives you feeling of burp and vomit , also have headache . Well there can be many reasons for the symptoms you mention in query like post nasal drip due to sinusitis , upper respiratory track infection or acid reflux . I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles , take steam and also do nasal rinses . Consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order certain tets like throat swab test , viral culture test , blood tets and CT scan . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics ( amoxicillin or penicillin ) along with expectorant and decongestants . Doctor may also refer you to gastroenterologist if he/she find problem to be related with acid reflux .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
