"Current medical status: Recently had a bad flu resulting in severe head cold and sinus infection. Took homeopathic remedie "Sinuspax and Sinna" for relief. Now I have these side effects. Hyper active salivary glands at the base of my tongue in my throat, feeling like I need to swallow constantly, feeling of throat closing, ball in throat feeling, anxiety. Can't sleep, as soon as I stop swallowing the watery saliva runs into my lungs choking me, makes me cough and wakes me up. Need something to counteract these side efects.
Current medical treatment: Advil cold and flu sinus decongestant and an antihystamine"
It seems probably that the symptoms are caused by the throat and sinus infection rather than a remedy. The most common symptom found during upper respiratory tract inflammation (pharynx, sinuses, tonsils, and larynx) is hyper-secretion of phlegm. Phlegm stacks in your throat and makes it hard to bread and to cough. That can make you anxious. You will probably experience these symptoms until the infection is overcome.
