I've done just about everything on this web page and I never get any better.
In fact, I am more miserable than ever. Same 'ol, same 'ol stuff that doesn't work.

Dr Davidson is the originator of topical treatment of sinusitis as well as
many other innovations. He teaches sinus treatment.

That doesn't change the fact that none of it works.

I've used:
every decongestant there is
every anti-histimine there is
every antibiotic there is
every nasal steroid there is
every OTC medication there is
I've had:
x-rays
CT Scans
Allergy shots
That scope thing with the camera where they look in your sinuses
I've had:
Surgery to enlarge the drainage holes
Somnoplasty to reduce the turbinates
I do the irrigation thing with the water pik every day - works for an hour
or two, then back to pain and misery. I can't do this 10 times a day!
Tried steaming, works for 5 minutes.
Saline spray - Like throwing salt in the wound.
on and on....
NOTHING WORKS. I am more miserable than when I started.
What do you do when nothing works?

Well unfortunately you need to restate your symptoms.

But the most likely and common situation is that you are highly sensitive (even
though not strictly-speaking allergic) to dust and mold. Try living in a dust
and mold free environment for a while and see if your sinusitis does not start
improving (warning - this may show as *increased" drainage at first).

Otherwise, have your internist check for -
- low thyroid (try to get the actual TSH number, not the conclusion)
- abnormal blood white-cell morphology and anemia
- B12 levels

and check for fatigue (are you getting enough sleep?).

What specifically do you mean "topical treatment of sinusitis"?

I guess sinus surgery could be considered "topical treatment". So could
irrigation. Or are you referring to topical administration of antibiotics,
for instance with Sinu-Neb?

Dr Davidson was the first to write about adding antibiotics to the pulsatile
irrigator. He showed dramatic improvement in Cystic Fibraosis and other
patients. Thanks to him, this will probably be the method of choice for
delivering antibiotics to the sinuses. You place eye drops in the eye - why
not do the same for the sinuses?
