Hi Dr. I was operated for Nasal polyps surgery 3 years back. From last one month or so, It seems that some mucus is always stuck in my throat and I have to clear it every now and then. This gets worse while lying on bed. I showed it to my ENT specialist and he mentioned that it is GERD and prescribed some antacid tab that did not work. I have no other symptom and I always feel some kind of phelgm in my throat that hardly comes out or go inside while swallowing. This is very irritating. Please prescribe some medicine / any lifestyle changes to get rid of this.
Dear Welcome to icliniq I reviewed your history and attach file of ENT Surgeon. The problem you described is very typical of two things 1)Postnasal drip or 2)GERD As ENT Surgeon seen you and they ruled out postnasal drip so it is more in favour of GERD and another supporting evidence is its aggravation on lying down. I will recommend to start following treatment and then get back to me after 2 weeks and let me know the response. Antacids will not help in it. GERD Postnasal drip GERD 1. Cap. Deslansoprazole 60mg 1 before breakfast for 8 weeks.  2. Tab.Cetrizine 10mg 1 at night for 2 weeks.  3.Tab.levosulphride 25mg 1+1+1= Before meals for 10 days 1.Try to take dinner at least 2 hours before going to bed  2.Elevate head end of bed about 5 Inch  3.Avoid Smoking and Alcohol  4.Avoid Evening Coffee and tea Let me know after 2 weeks.
