View allWhen I use Duonase nasal spray, I notice it ends up in my throat after a while. Should I be swallowing it or is it better to spit it out?
If Duonase nasal spray drips into your throat after use, it is generally safe to swallow. However, if you find the taste unpleasant or if it's causing irritation, you can spit it out. Just ensure you follow the recommended dosage and consult your doctor if you have any concerns.

I'm really worried about my throat. The doctors said its chronic pharyngitis, and Ive been on antibiotics and antiallergics. I tried ibuprofen for the swelling, but it just comes back when I stop taking it. Sometimes, my right ear hurtsmaybe its because of my tonsils? I also have gastritis, so could it be LPR or GERD? Im a singer, and its been two months since Ive been able to sing. It's really upsetting. I've already seen three doctors but no luck. What should I do?
As it is chronic Pharyngitis it needs long-term treatment,also consume warm foods, rest your voice until complete recovery visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment

I've had chronic sinusitis and had DNS surgery twice, but I still feel heavy movement in my forehead and eyebrows, especially on the left side. Right now I'm taking levocetrizine hydrochloride 5mg and ambroxol hcl 60mg tablets, which have helped a bit with the dullness. Can I increase the dose to twice a day? I'm worried about side effects because last time I tried that, I had sinus congestion and discharge
It's generally not recommended to increase the dosage of levocetrizine or ambroxol without consulting a doctor, especially since you've experienced side effects with higher doses in the past. Increased doses of these medications could exacerbate those side effects or have other unforeseen consequences. allergy medicines might lessen allergy symptoms of sinusitis caused by allergies
