postnasal block-up
Question:
so, just a week ago my i had a 101 deg. tempature. but in 2 days, it was gone. From last summer my doctor said i had postnasal drip and gave me nasonex to help it. Right now, my throat hurts and when I spit, weird orange stuff comes out. aslo, that is how my throat becomes more relaxed, so every 3 hours i have to spit. is this caused by postnasal drip? Or is it some other disease that i need different medical care for? -Alex — Message posted via MedKB.com http://www.medkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/sinusitis/200507/1

It sounds like a side effect of the Nasonex. Blood tinged mucus is one, as is sort throat. Tom

Yes the original poster should not go overboard on the Nasonex and aim a bit outward. He may be spraying it right at a turbibate or the septum. If bleeding continues, discontinue use until he sees a doctor. He can try irrigation (see the FAQ) to clean out his nose and sinuses.

If that stuff is of a strange bright "Day-Glo" color, it could indicate a bacterial sinus infection. Wait a week or two more, and see if your condition improves. If not, then that suggests you have a bacterial sinus infection and you will need antibiotics. — Steven D. Litvintchouk Email: sdlit…@earthlinkNOSPAM.net Remove the NOSPAM before replying to me.

I use warm salt water to gargle when my throat feels like that from post nasal. Especially in the morning when I get up. Use this rinse for a couple of days, morning and at night before going to bed. My MD told me to do this, as I have been to his office so many times with a sore throat when I did not have one. shirley
