Oh my goodness. I’ve been dealing with this since college!!

I’ve been to several ENTS- none knowing the cause but offering the same thing- antibiotics, a CT scan, etc. they’re always stumped because they can’t find anything!

I’m wondering what everyone’s thoughts are on Sjögren’s syndrome or lupus? Do you think this could be a symptom and we have this autoimmune disease that causes this? At this point I’m so frustrated with seemingly no one being able to pinpoint what causes this.

I noticed mine are a bit more bloody when I’m feeling sick. Green typically.

I get them worse in winter time. However feel generally fine other than having to suck these up from my throat. 🙁

I have psoriatic arthritis, an autoimmune disease. Will ask my ENT about this. Are there no med students on here to input some valuable info?
