Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / October 2003Irrigating technique
I am irrigating with Itraconazole for a fungal sinusitis, but it seems as soon as it goes in, it comes out. What is the proper way to do this? Thanks. Also, my ENT says that even though bacteria grew out of my sinuses, they are not really important; what's important is that I have fungi, and that the secretions are like rubber cement, gluey globby, and not the yellow/gree I've had in the past with bacteria. Is this general thinking? Thank you again. exactly what technique / device are you using? Murray Grossan, M.D. http://www.ent-consult.com http://www.hydromedonline.com For the Itraconazole I use a 10 cc syringe with a long tube, used to give meds to a kid or pet, I think. I use 20 cc in each nostril. For regular saline, I use the waterpik with your tip.

Murray Grossan, M.D. http://www.ent-consult.com http://www.hydromedonline.com He thought it needed to be kept in the concentration it is made up in, and didn't want me to mix it. Do you have any opinions on this?

For some of my patients, I prefer to deliver the medication via pulsatile irrigation, where I feel the meds will definitely enter the sinus cavities. Murray Grossan, M.D. http://www.ent-consult.com http://www.hydromedonline.com (I have had bacterial infections for many years, am s/p mini FESS (worsened things) and IV antibiotics ( helped for a while) a few years ago. I've actually been doing fairly well, for me, this past year, until this recent trouble. This one is different, no pus, just thick gooey stuff, and feeling more "sick" as a whole than my symptoms would seem to warrant. My house has undergone renovation, and been very dusty, but there is no obvious mold.)
