I have had a sinus infection and the post
nasal drip in the back of my throat is
very thick,also the area where the drip
comes out is burning ( roof of my mouth)
only farther back where the drip comes out
and down the throat, has anyone
experienced this? I can swallow and it is
not burning in that part of my throat only
on top.

It's probably burning from the irritation
of the mucus going down your throat. I
just had that same thing last month.
Have you been taking anything for your
infection? I think if it clears up your
throat problem will clear up.

I just started amoxcillin 875 mg 2 times a
day. For 3 weeks, if this does not help I
have a script for augmentin which is very
pricey, so I opted to try the amoxcillin
first. The burning is only at the top of
my throat,( where the nasal drip comes
out) not where I swallow, did u have that
too?

I've had that before.. Not this past time
though. I wonder if some of the
infection may have travelled down to the
top of your throat.. Even if it did the
antibiotics should clear it up as well.
I would say if you are still having
problems after you are finished with the
meds then maybe ask your doctor about it.

I think they normally give me zithromax.
I am allergic to penicillin (so they tell
me). I think i've been on arithromycin
(spell?) before. Usually the sinus
infection would clear up in a week but the
congestion can last for awhile. I'm
still battling congestion right now from
getting sick the beginning of october.
Are you taking sudafed (or
pseudophedrine)? If not I would
recommend it.. It's a decongestant. My
doctor just put me on it twice a day to
try and clear it up. My throat
thankfully hasn't been bothering me in the
last 2 weeks though. For me it keeps
going to my lungs right now.

Do you mean zithromax z pack? I am
staeting the augmentin tonight, the
burning in my upper throat is bad, I
really hope this helps me if not I wil
have to go to the ent. I have high blood
pressure cannot take sudafed.

Yes.. The z pack.. I hope the augmentin
works, I know how frustrating it can be.
My advice would be to drink as much water
as you can to thin out the mucus and help
it from irritating your throat more. I
always love hot tea for a sore throat. I
live on it when I get a cold. I know
what you mean about the sudafed. I can't
take it several hours before I go to bed
cause it messes up my bp as well and then
I can't sleep.
