Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / April 2005Post nasal drainage and asthma
This weekend, I thought I was getting another sinus infection. I think that somehow, I managed to avoid the infection but I am having a tremendous amount of clear post nasal drainage. This has created a miserable cough and also started my asthma symptoms. The asthma medications (advair and albuterol) have been producing a miserable headache. Feels like the back of my skull is in a vise! Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks. > This weekend, I thought I was getting another sinus infection.

Then it will not go to down to your chest or affect your voice. I have allergies, post nasal drip and Gerds (acid reflux). I am doing that now as I have post nasal drip this year quite often. 1 cup of warm water with a tsp. of salt. morning and evening. My MD prescribed the above for me. shirley > This weekend, I thought I was getting another sinus infection.

Thanks. Post nasal drip from sinusitis is my worst asthma trigger. Clear drainage can still be caused by sinusitis, and I've often had this experience. You might try nasal irrigation. NeilMed sells an inexpensive squeeze bottle and saline solution, the drugstore has SinoFresh or plain saline bottles, and if you can afford it, there's Dr. Grossan's hydromedpulse irrigator. All of the above have helped me, though it's too soon for me to say if the hyromed is more effective than the others in my case. You may need antibiotics, at first, and a nasal spray to get any infection under control. Susan >This weekend, I thought I was getting another sinus infection.

I personally find that a sudden onset of a lot of clear drainage indicates the onset of an infection..... My ID doctor told me that the clear thick mucus that I've been havining is a result of inflammation. It's been so bad that sometimes I think I'm drowning in it. Kathy I feel the same way. My drainage is clear but non-stop. I feel the same way. My drainage is clear but non-stop.
