Throat N* again!

[kitbuddy]

Due to our crazy midwestern weather, I have been getting more frequent sinus headaches. Unfortunately they are often accompanied by really bad throat n*. I feel fine in my stomach, but my throat gets this strange throbbing sensation that causes me a lot of anxiety. I'm currently at work nursing a terrible sinus headache (lots of pressure behind my cheeks and eyes) and I had to go to the bathroom to try to calm down because I am literally shaking!

Does anyone have any tricks or tips for sinus pressure relief? I took an ibuprofen an hour ago, but it hasn't helped yet. Plus, I took it on an empty stomach so I am praying that it doesn't cause actual n* (it's the coated kind so I think it'll be okay).

when I used to get that crazy throat N. I would take benedryl. Maybe its the antihistamine that helped, or maybe it was placebo but it worked for me.

Yikes- all the time? It's bad enough for me to get it when it gets humid and rainy! Once my headache went away the throat n* did too. I still felt a little "off" from the sinus drainage, but I was able to eat dinner.

I guess I'm going to have to start carrying benadryl or claratin in my purse. I've had success with Vics Sinex pills or nasal spray.

I swear by Advil Cold and Sinus - 1 of those plus 1 or 2 plain Advil. And seltzer and burping always helps me with throat n*

Can somebody explain to me what throat nausea is? I've never heard of it except on this forum. Is it like acid reflux?
