REPLIED

parlodel is use to treat parkinsons disease or menstrual disorders but it does not include excess salivation as a side effect. why are you using the saline in your nostrils?

Are you on any other medication?

Sal-Tropine can help with excess salavation.

iron defiency anemia can cause spitting up of blood.

I think a doctor should check for what is causing these things

and see what is going on.

WASN'T SATISFIED
Thanks for the response. The reason i mentioned parlodel was list any medication that iam currently on. The nasal spray was prescribed because my doctor thought i have dry nostrils. I have used it to no avail. However i did a CT scan for my lungs and everything seem fine.

Bottom line, iam miserable with this secretion problem and my doctor doesnt seem to know what the cause is.

Sal-Tropine can help with excess salavation and iron defiency anemia can cause spitting up of blood. have they checked you for anemia?

what does the doctor say about the excess salivation?

Sal - Tropine can only be prescribed by a physcian. Maybe you could ask the doctor if it would help you.

if this does not help I have no idea other than to let a specialist pick up the question and sorry I could not help.

I am going to be honest with you. That does sound pretty miserable and I have never heard of it.

I think you should be letting that doctor know YOU WOULD LIKE SOME HELP!

Sorry

Thanks again. Yes he they did a hemolytic test on me and everything was fine. Honestly, after the CT scan, to examine my lungs, he called and said everything seems fine.

Any suggestions? please help

ACCEPTED

But did he do a CBC? (a complete blood count)?

Did he check to see if you are anemic or have some dietary difficincies?

let me try to find a web site

this is way over my head.
