Haven't slept in three days. Get's saliva into my nose every time I sleep. HELP?

[Anonymous]

I have this health problem. I am certainly very sick. I have a ‪tonsillitis‬, but lately I been having this problem that is ruining my life. I don't sleep anymore. When I lay my head down and try to swallow my own saliva, the saliva seem to go up into my nose. It drives me crazy, scared, uncomfortable and hurts so much that I chock. I have been crying every night these past days, hoping for myself to become normal again, cause I need to sleep so bad. But can't.

You most likely have diseased Tonsils and they should be removed
they are cutting off your breathing, they are enlarged and you can
suffer from sleeping disorders that when you go to sleep your blood
pressure can become life threatening and your heart rate can become
dangerously high / low too and you can developed a heart attack,
stroke , death.

Penicillin doesn't work like it used to and you may need high dosage for it to work.

I know. I actually feel better now after being on penicillin three days, but still. I get saliva up into my nose when I swallow. It kills me

That's precisely why doctors exist.

Well I have been to the doctor and they have given me penicillin for this. I of course feel better than I did the first days of this illness, but not "saliva through the nose" is beyond what I imagined. The only thing I want to do is sleep, but can't

Try changing your sleeping position; put your head on a high pillow so that the "saliva" submits to gravity.

I have tried everything. every single thing. it is not going. The only way I can sleep for a least 30 minuttes is if I sit while sleeping.

You need to be re-checked. Thats not normal.

[Asker]

I know. I know. I just hope they find out what the problem is, cause I don't want to live like this anymore

I hope you get well soon. :/
