Doctor told me to follow the tablets xylomist nasal drops, vitaresp fx, cloff and dose also gargle warm water with drez for 14 days. My question is how long will it to recover and what are the foods not to eat, i'm not able to sleep properly during night time frequently I have air pause and its trigger me to wake from sleep. It's some thing critical? Since doctor told me nothing to worry. Please doctors give me your suggestions.

Dear lybrate-user as you said when you sleep you intermittently wake up due to air pause which basically occurs in sleep apnea. These episodes of arousal for sleep is known as sleep apnea. This condition may be due (in few cases only) to swelling in throat which includes tonsillitis and pharyngitis. Sleep apnea is also precipitated in preobese/obese patients. Also pathologies of nose like deviated nasal septum (bent nose from inside) or inferior turbinate hypertrophy (increase in muscle mass of nose). So now come to the treatment part. Continue the same treatment what you are taking which wil help in subsiding the infection and swelling in throat. Try to reduce your weight as it will help in reducing the apneic episodes if it is one of the likely contributing cause. If it still doesn't help kindly get yourself evaluated and diagnosed properly with investigations required. Thanks.
