What does it mean when you have fluid building up in the back of your throat but you cant cough it up?
The liquid that is building up at the back of the throat is actually mucus (sometime referred to as phlegm). This symptom is known as post nasal drip. Post Nasal Drip results due to your body being unable to get rid of mucus regularly, usually due to nasal or sinus congestion. Thus the mucus is forced down the back of the throat. When the mucus become trapped in the sinuses/nose it gets thicker, and it is this thicker tenacious mucus that is getting stuck on the back of your throat. You can try mucinex or sinuswars2 to treat this problem. Post Nasal Drip foten also causes throat irritation, throat infection and chronic coughs.
Could having sinus cause you to spit up blood?
It is possible that you could spit up blood if you have post nasal drip and your mucus membranes are damaged. Basically post nasal drip is the drainage of mucus down the back of the throat because your sinuses are congested. Thus the body is unable to control the production and flow of mucus. Many people cough up this mucus as it bothers their throat and can even lead to a sore throat. So when your mucus membranes are damaged they can bleed, normally this would lead to a nose bleed, but if the sinuses are congested the blodd can drain down the back of the throat (post nasally) with the mucus. I would definitely sugest that you treat your post nasal drip, sinus congestion and damaged mucus membranes. You can visit sinuswars.com for more information on the three conditions. Or alternatively you can visit sinus-pro.com
