Yellow Fluid From Nose, Sore Throat, Burning In Chest, Rumbling In Chest. Reason?

I had yellow fluid pouring from my nose the other day. I went to the ER for severe stomach pain & terrible heartburn with a stuck carrot feeling in my right lung. Stated with bad sore throat. I was on antibiotics for a few weeks & upper GI & abdominal ultrasound showed ok. Now I'm dizzy, have terrible burning in my chest, & have a rumbling in my right ear. I'm on Benlysta for SLE. What could be wrong?

ENT Specialist,  's  Response
Dear,
As per the history you have given and the clinical findings you may be suffering with side effect of Benlysta as it is proven that Common adverse effects reported with benlysta include nausea, diarrhea, fever, as well as hypersensitivity and infusion-site reactions (severe in 0.9% of patients). It is suggested that patients be treated with an antihistamine prior to a Benlysta infusion.
I would suggest you to consult the Specialist if you don’t get relief as on examination the findings may be different and line of treatment may have to be changed. Please don’t hesitate to consult and ask for any more query. i will be pleased to answer.
Yours sincerely
