I was curious about a problem I have had with my sinus'. I have had a sore throat and runny nose which led to joint pain for 3 days. Now I just have a stuffy nose, very dry, as well. Every morning I wake up I have to clear my throat of a thick, very sticky, blood "clot". The mucus I clear from my throat during the day is very sticky. It is like glue. I have a sensation of something on my throat all of the time. I thought maybe another sinus infection but I don't have sinus pressure like I have in the past. It's almost like I am drying up...I have been to the eye doctor several times for dry eye syndrome too. Now my nose and throat too. Any information you have would be great. I don't like to take antibiotics if not necessary.
