Post Tonsillectomy Mucus?!


Question: Post Tonsillectomy Mucus!?
I had a Tonsillectomy about 2 years ago, and ever since I've been hacking up loads of mucus!. Though the amount decreased after the first 3 weeks, I still have way more than I did pre-op!. Sometimes it gets so bad I feel like I can't breath unless I get it out!. Its disgusting, and all my doctors have said is "drink more water and use a neti-pot!." I KNOW its related to the surgery, and I'm sick of it!. Does anyone have a more reasonable, effective solution!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Neti pot!?

I'm sorry you've had to put up with this for so long!. The bacteria could easily be flourishing because there are no tonsils to filter them out!.

Have you ever visited an Ear, Nose and Throat dr!.!? An allergy specialist!? A pulmonologist!? That might be a good idea!. I'd start with the ENT, then the lung doctor!. Keep going!. If they can't help you, make them refer you to another better than they!.

Mucus is easily dealt with, tho you'd have to take meds on a daily basis!. In the US they market it as Mucinex!. The active ingredient is guafinnesin!. Robi-tussin!. It's a great mucus thinner!. If you take this, and drink lots of water, you may not notice the mucus anymore!. It will still be there!.!.!.just not bothering you!.

would recommend rinsing with lukewarm, diluted alcolol solution!. You can get it at the pharmacy but they keep it behind the counter!. Gargle GENTLY for about 2 minutes after eating and before bed!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.or basically whenever you feel like it!. Tastes kind of weird but really helps!

I usually mix it with %50 water!.

I also use Mucinex and drink lots of water and it really helps cut down on the mucous and soothes my irritated throat!. You can buy this product over the counter!.

Whichever works best for you!Www@Answer-Health@Com
