Sinusitis

Since I have not been sleeping I have been getting sick easily. I have been battling a sinus infection for over 2 weeks now. I got these blisters inside my nose, but they are better, but the sinuses are not. I took Levaquin for 5 days & went through a medrol pack & used a steroid nasal spray. I am using a netti pot, taking herbs, using a humidifier, I am doing everything I can think of to get rid of it. Its making me tired & miserable. My sinus passages are very swollen and my head and face hurts even still. The antibiotics didn't seem to phase it one bit. I am sensitive around chemicals, does that include dust and dogs? I don't understand why I can't get rid of it. I don't understand what it is. I have been to my family doctor already. I have so much to do & no energy to do it. I am tired of being sick. I did sleep more last night, but had to take a trazadone to do it. I don't like that stuff, it makes you feel lethargic even more so the next day. Like a hangover. Any advice on sinuses & how to get the swelling down I am all ears.

That sounds terrible! I would recommend looking into using aerosolizing medications. Its actually great cause it goes straight to the infection becuase the medication is actually inhale through the nostrals. And it also never enters the blood stream! You may wanna google it and see if it something that could provide you with some relief.

Hope this helps!

Have you tried neti pot or nasal rinses? I know that doesn\'t exactly sound like a million laughs but it can provide tremendous relief!
My sister has chronic sinusitis and just had a CT Scan. It\'s sinus surgery and balloon sinuplasty for her.
But yes - look into rinses on a neti! And be well!
