Nasal & Throat Congestion
I am having problem with breathing and my throat chokes and also having problem with saliva intake. I went through a CT scan. I found that the sinus region has some tissue developed on the right side of the nose internally. I have observed that i am having major problem in breathing specially through the right side and my throat is always dry. What can be done for the same as i am having quite some difficulty?
