Hello,
I have been plagued with sinus infections for years. Seems like every cold I get goes directly into a sinus infection. It is like the mucus is stuck in my sinus' and just won't come out.
In 2000, I had a sinus problem that lasted about 2 1/2 months. My current sinus infection has lasted 2 weeks. I would like to find out a way stop this or at least make sure it does not last 2 months.
In the past I have seen ear/nose/ throat doctors, had xrays, CT scans and whatever they could think of, but no obstructions, etc.
This time, I have already undergone one round of strong antibiotics- Zithromax, but still feel congested and awful. I believe I have gone from cold to sinus infection to flu, yet the sinus infection still lingers. Afer researching the internet, I even irrigated my sinus' with an over the counter medication. But the fluid does not flow through like the instructions said it would.
I am really tired of this. I have not been swimming or working out.
Does anyone out there know a cure?
All clogged up.

Dear All Clogged Up,
I am not a doctor,
But, I do have a friend who had similar problems only to find that her problem was by way of a serious undiscovered allergy to perfume and other things in the air...she would often get an irritation that would turn into an infection and so on and so until she became quiet ill frequently. The prescription of a nose inhalent has cured her ills...
Also, i do not know if you drink red wine, but since I have been drinking red wine, I have found that my colds are only slight, and have not really been sick for about two years--other than the sniffles one time a year during the last two years.
After taking antibiotics, make sure you ramp yourself back up--because antibiotics weaken your system...eat yogurt, garlic, onions and other things that will strengthen you...
I hope you find an answer soon! Bless your heart!
