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.

oh yeah, other things I forgot:
-diet for me affects my sinuses. If I'm clogged up I avoid wheat products - the gluten in the wheat apparently is a culprit for congestion. I also avoid cheese (except yoghurt) because from personal experience that plugs me up, too.
-yoghurt with active bacterial culture has been shown to increase a person's immunity to cold viruses.
