I'm constantly having to clear my thoat sometimes bringing up catarrh, and sometimes on waking first thing in the morning getting blood in the catarrh. I'm also on warfarin since about 6 weeks ago, which is roughly when the problem started.( my inr is 2.9 Any advise would be very welcome!

Thankyou John, I will give them a try. Thanks again.

I think I would want to check on the causes of the bleeding. Sounds like a visit to the GP.

You haven't filled in your history details so I don't know if you have had an oesophagectomy or not.

If you have had one then you certainly should not be on Warfarin.Even Aspirin is contra-indicated.

Any bleed whilst taking an anticoagulant should be investigated PDQ.
