    Default Is it just me? Can't be i hope

    Allergies????? What is going on. I have been from no voice to a very hoarse voice for over 2 months now. I had strep throat, went on a Z pac.

    After that is over...i seem to have Acid Reflux. So i cut out all hot crap and read up on what not to eat. I mean my throat burned.

    Now i have post nasal drip SO DAMN bad, i feel it in my throat.

    Anyone else going through this allergy crap? Nose running in the throat.

    I am using salt water washes to keep the sinus area clean, to no avail.

    I can like burp this crap up. Yesterday was a good day. Today i woke up and post nasal drip along with my hoarse voice. Can allergies cause a voice to go? What about warm salt water gargle for my throat/voice?

    Thanks,

    Pamela

    Pam,I am suffering from the same thing. I just assumed that the drip and sore throat were allergies. The Acid Reflux that I have I know is triggered by my stress level.
    I am doing the salt/warm water gargle and it is helping my throat but that is about it.....wonder is I should make an appointment with my Dr.

    Sorry I couldn't help...just wanted you to know,your not alone!

    I just noticed the same sore throat yesterday. It must be allergies since I feel fine today. Maybe try to stay inside, and take some medicine if you need too?

    I hope it's not interferring with your phone business. What am I thinking, it probably just makes you sound even sexier!

    Feel better soon,

    ^^^^Lol, no they give me the damn 18 characters to play...lol. I sound 70!!!

    I just have the damn constant post nasal drip in the back of the throat at this point. I may see what i can do safely. Just want to know if anyone else feels it worse this year too.

    SUCKS.

    Sienna i dont know. I hope so. I need to stop this. My throat is very dry too. My roomate took me out to dinner tonite, and now i have this burning in my throat. But, the damn post nasal drip is worse yet!

    I guess steam your face. Hot bath. Something. And drink warm plain water..YUK.

    I've had problems with allergies for so long I can't even remember how long. My eyes burn and my nose runs CONSTANTLY! I've just accepted it. I also seem like I always have phlegm, especially in the morning. gross. A couple weeks ago I felt like I was getting sick with a sore throat but it never materialized, just was a scratchy throat for a while. I'm guessing it was allergies.

    I went and sat in the sauna, and that helped a little...

    My hubby is having terrible allergies too, and it almost never used to bother him... Anyways, we are using Claritin and it helps a little. It also helps me to avoid dairy: dairy tends to increase phlegm. You might give a little diet change a try.

    The mild went winter this year brought on a bumper crop of grass, ragweed and early-budding trees (never mind mold spores) leading to the highest pollen counts in a decade.

    To deal with the post nasal drip (which can definitely be the cause of the sore throat and funky hoarse voice thing) try an OTC decongestant like Sudafed to shrink swollen nasal tissue and an OTC antihistamine like Claratin to dry up excess mucus and stop the itchy nose/eyes and sneezing.

    Neti pot! Something I learned in my yoga training. A neti pot looks like a tiny little tea pot. You fill it with warm saline solution (salt + water), stick the spout up your nose, and pour the water into your nasal passages. It feels a little weird at first, but it's not painful or uncomfortable, and the water either runs back out your nostrils or out of your mouth. It's great for clearing up congestion, and can even prevent allergies if you do it a few times a day during the bad season. Works pretty well!

    (And if you like that one, I can also tell you how to clear out your digestive track by swallowing string.)
