Sinusitis FAQ

Summer sinusitis

Question:

Since a sinus surgery a few years back I have never had a summer sinus infection. Last winter a Z Pak fixed me up. This time, no way. Working my way now through 7 days of cephelexin 500 4 times a day and things are not much better. I rely on sugar and caffeine to have enough energy to function. I get so sleepy I fall asleep watching tv yet I can’t get to sleep at night and when I do I sleep 5-6 hours. Normally I like 9-10 hours a day. I’ve tried the Grossan nasal water pik and it is NO help with the lethargy or headaches. My doctor has been on vacation so the nurse practitioner has been handling this. I thought it would be routine as all of my infections have been since the surgery. Now I am wondering. Come Friday do I call for aa 3rd Rx or make an appt.. with the ent who did the surgery and maybe get the sinuses vacuumed out or see what Rx he can offer. Having wasted 3 weeks of summer is adversely affecting my moods too. And the sugar aint helping the weight. OTOH, my wife works with a lady who is experiencing the same thing. We’ve had less than 1 inch on rain in July and I wonder if the dryness is a factor. Any thoughts or insights? BTW, don’t think I eat only sugar and coffee. I eat much fruit and vegetables and whole wheat bread and almonds growned into a  butter and other healthy foods. And I drink green tea also. I’ve tried Sudafed but it’s not good for my blood pressure.

Hello, Antibiotics make fungus worse: "Blood pressure"? "Weight"? Sounds as if they have had you on steroids, which also shorten your life. The Mayo Clinic has just found that most "sinus" trouble is fungus. They have a new treatment. It is: Amphotericin B deoxycholate, nasal lavage wash.

After suffering with multiple sinus infections, year after year, for decades, I experimented with flooding my nasal passages with a mixture of diluted 3% hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and kosher salt. In order to flood my nasal passages and keep them flooded, I keep my forehead pointed downward. I keep my forehead down for quite a while, hoping that the anti-infective mixture can get to the infected area(s) within my sinuses and nasal passages. . It works! I have been sinus infection free for about 3 years. I think that I had chronic infection problems with my turbinates, so flooding my nasal passages with the anti-infective mixture worked very well, for me, since the infected areas were fairly easy to reach. . I have fully documented my experience and how I did it at Healthboards.com. There are posts there by people who have tried my "upside down sinus flooding" and have received either partial relief or total relief. There are also posts there from those who it hasn’t helped, and by those who don’t think that it is a good idea. I have no connection at all with Healthboards. I use it because I consider it to be the best facility for discussing health problems on the Internet. . To find out more, select one of the following links: .
