Hello Doctor,
I'm experiencing sinus issues and find it hard to breathe at night. Additionally, I have a major acidity problem. What should I do to alleviate these symptoms?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
It's essential to consider various factors that could be contributing to your breathing difficulty at night, such as snoring or a deviated nasal septum causing sinusitis. Here are some precautions and treatment recommendations:
Precautions:
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
- Reduce intake of cold beverages, spicy, oily, fried, and very hot foods.
- Avoid prolonged cold exposure, and if in an air-conditioned space, step out every 2 hours for fresh air.
- Wash all bedding and linens regularly in warm water.
Anti-acidity measures:
- Limit intake of tea/coffee, spicy, oily, and fried foods.
- Eat meals at regular times and avoid overeating.
- Opt for light and early dinners, avoiding heavy meals late at night.
Treatment:
- Take Tab Levosiz M once at night for 10 days after dinner.
- Take Tab Bactogard 200 1-0-1 for 5 days after breakfast and dinner.
- Use Otrivin nasal drops, 3 drops in each nostril twice a day for 5 days.
- Take Cap Pepcia-D 1-0-1 for 10 days before breakfast and dinner.
These measures should help alleviate your symptoms and improve your overall comfort. However, if your symptoms persist or worsen, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and guidance.
Thanks
