Newbie question
So I live in MN. We are at a high pollen count right now but I am trying to figure out if my symptoms are LPR/GERD or allergies. I am looking for personal advice. Not seeking medical advice as I know that’s not fair. I have gone to ENT twice without much help.
Symptoms
- Post nasal drip
- Right sided throat pain (assuming from post nasal drip irritating it)
- Sore throat after talking too much
- Itchy nose
- Dry eyes
- Occasional runny nose - got a small sore underneath my right nostril from dripping
- Globus sensation
I have tried alkaline water, acid free diet, PPIs, H2 blocker (Pepcid), warm water with honey, Alginate after meals, not laying down for 2 hours before bed, elevated pillow. Nothing has helped
I just started nasal steroid spray and anti Claritin. Soo far I see a small improvement with the allergy meds but curious if anyone else has a similar story?
By far my biggest frustration is the right sided throat pain. It’s hard to talk!
Thoughts?
