Irritated, inflamed upper, back of mouth

[GM123]

Periodically and recurrently I get an illness with the following symptoms:



- When my illness starts, I get an irritated feeling at the upper back of my
mouth/throat,where there’s a connection to the nose.


Then later I get other symptoms:
- I feel warm, especially the face, like a fever
- upper nose irritated feeling
- eyes feel warm
- my sinus area, upper head area feels ‘tight’, irritated
- I get a sore throat
- I feel tired, lack my normal energy
- nose runs a small bit sometimes, nose is a bit stuffy
- sometimes a slight upset stomach
- these symptoms have been recurrent for years
- symptoms are there a few days, then I get better for a few days to a
  week or two,then the symptoms come back again
- sometimes it’s like a constantly recurring mild sinus cold

- Many times when I eat, some food seems to go up through the passage at the
back of my mouth instead of down my throat, causing irritation in the
upper, back of my mouth and throat.
It seems to almost get sucked up the upper, back of my mouth
(i.e. opening leading to my nose).
This is often the start of my symptoms.

- I get inflammation of my nose and mouth/throat
- sometimes food seems to get stuck in my throat

Would anyone know the cause (and treatment) of these symptoms?

Has anyone else had these symptoms?

Thank you.

Hello and hope you are doing well.

Understand your predicament. In an entity called allergic rhinitis, the symptoms are similar to a common cold, but they are usually more persistent and show seasonal variation. The individual responds to an allergen, which can be in many forms like dust and household mites. It appears that you are suffering from such a phenomenon.

You can tackle this problem in the following ways: Prevention and Therapy during attacks.

For prevention: Try to maintain an allergen-free environment. Substitute all synthetic and cool materials with cotton ones. Remove all dust-collecting household articles like carpets, bedspreads etc. Alternatively an allergy specialist may try to identify the offending allergen and try to desensitize you.

Using low dose steroidal nasal sprays, are very effective. The steroid in the spray is very low and acts only locally. Two puffs in each nostril two times a days for about a month. The effect starts only after 2weeks of therapy.

Once an attack has occurred, the antihistamines like chlopheneramine, lovatidine are effective. Nasal decongestant drops too relieve congestion.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

Definitely sounds like some type of food allergy or sensitivity, also, very well could be chemical or environmental allergies.

My suggestion is to see a naturopath, osteopath or an allergist and have a complete food panel and chemical panel run for allergies, this is a type of blood test and should reveal what is going on.

I have had the food panel and it showed many food allergies. I get super bad tummy aches with mine and also anxiety attacks at times, also, food allergies can put weight on a person, they really are horrible.
