chronic sinus, salivation
Question:
has anyone experienced excessive salivation caused by chronic sinus problems? (for eg. when i speak, i have to swallow excess saliva being generated) consuming alcohol intensifies the sinus blockage and gives me a feeling of having a swollen face. I almost look back nostalgically at times when I could have a runny nose 
.. the only time that happens is if I ingest some tabasco… but then the thinning effect of mucous only last for a few minutes at best.. then it is back to the clogginess. I dont have any sinus pain.. just the inflammation all the time…rather disconcerting.. are there any herbal/natural remedies that act as mucous thinners other than those containing ephedra ? any other suggestions ? (irrigation works … but again only for 10 minutes. then it is back to the stuffiness in my head, nose, face)
Response:
Possible cases of excess saliva are listed here: http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/sym/drooling.htm#possible I do not see sinusitis listed as such but you never know. There are some systemic causes so you might want to see an internist if you cannot identify a cause within the mouth.

Are you sure its saliva your dealing with here??? it could well be excess post-nasal-drip which is lingering in your mouth making you swallow a lot??? I would agree – best to see an internist to get this checked out! vikas – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -Don Brady wrote: > Possible cases of excess saliva are listed here: > http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/sym/drooling.htm#possible > I do not see sinusitis listed as such but you never know. > There are some systemic causes so you might want to see an internist if you > cannot identify a cause within the mouth. > On 21 Jan 2005 10:52:05 -0800, example2…@hotmail.com wrote: > >has anyone experienced excessive salivation caused by chronic sinus > >problems?
