After weeks of oral doxycycline, which seemed to keep the infection in
check (until I stopped taking it, of course), I'm now trying a nasal
rinse with vancomycin. But it's not working.

Any advice?

Also, does anyone know of a pharmacy that offers neubulized
antibiotics, now that SinuNeb/Curascript has stopped making them?

Guess I should mention I've already had sinus surgery. More times than
I care to admit.

You might ask your doctor about delivering your medication via pulsatle
irrigation. This is the method that Davidson and others favor.

Intravenous antibiotics are often more effective.
