Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / January 2005chronic sinus, salivation
has anyone experienced excessive salivation caused by chronic sinus problems? (for eg. when i speak, i have to swallow excess saliva being generated) consuming alcohol intensifies the sinus blockage and gives me a feeling of having a swollen face. I almost look back nostalgically at times when I could have a runny nose :).. the only time that happens is if I ingest some tabasco... but then the thinning effect of mucous only last for a few minutes at best.. then it is back to the clogginess. I dont have any sinus pain.. just the inflammation all the time...rather disconcerting.. are there any herbal/natural remedies that act as mucous thinners other than those containing ephedra ? any other suggestions ? (irrigation works ... but again only for 10 minutes. then it is back to the stuffiness in my head, nose, face) Possible cases of excess saliva are listed here: http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/sym/drooling.htm#possible I do not see sinusitis listed as such but you never know. There are some systemic causes so you might want to see an internist if you cannot identify a cause within the mouth. >has anyone experienced excessive salivation caused by chronic sinus >problems?

I would agree - best to see an internist to get this checked out! vikas > Possible cases of excess saliva are listed here: > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > >any other suggestions ?
