Throat Problem for over 8 years now?!
Question: Throat Problem for over 8 years now!?
I am currently 16 ive been having this problem ever since i was 8 or 9!. What it is, is that almost 80% of the time during the day i have to clear my throat!. Especially when im not talking and just stay quite is when it hits me the most!. During school while doing my work everyone is quite and then it hits me i have to clear my throat over and over again!. I do it so many times during the day that even i get yelled at to stop when i cant!. I sometimes feel like theres something inside my throat like under my adams apple!. And waking up in the mornings is the worst my throat is all clogged up and i have to clear it!. Idk how ive been able to live so long with this its been so annoying but i guess ive grown custom to it now!. Ive been to doctors ive had a Q-tip down my throat to gather the yellow bacteria, they called me with the lab results and they said i was negative!. So i really dont understand whats wrong with me, i also have like a little ball on the left side of my neckWww@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
It sounds like 1 of 2 things: A sinus infection, yellow & green mucus both mean infection!. The ball on the side of your neck is probably a salivary gland!. Wikipedia: Salivary gland
You can try Mucinex it loosens & thins mucus!.
Try using saline nasal spray several times/day
Gargle with Hydrogen peroxide (it will feel weird because of bubbles)!.
Get a humidifier for your room!.
Suck on Zinc lozenges!. Suck on cough drops with eucalyptus!.
Vit C 2000mg every 3 hours for 3 days
Zinc 50 mg!.
Take good multi-vitamin/mineral
Go see ENT MD!.
I'm sure that's it, but people can clear their throats from nerves/stress!.
I can't believe your parents never wrote you a note to give to your teachers!.
My best to you!.
Good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

your mucus glands are swollen and produce a lot of mucus!. what color is it!? white=healthy green=infection yellow=healing by itself other than that, do you eat a lot of junk food!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Sounds like allergies!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

This kind of thing does happen and it's very embarrassing!. The best way to have this completely evaluated beyond the culture that you had is to have a complete examination by an ENT specialist (Ear Nose and Throat)!. They have the best equipment to see what is going on there and also may want you to have a CT Scan or an MRI scan to get a better sense of the internal anatomy!. They can also help identify what is going on with that little ball on the left side of your neck!.
Good luck and I hope you get this corrected!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
