Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / July 2006infection pains / heat, congestion and irritation
I get infection pains / heat, congestion and irritation. I had 2 ops in 2 1/2 years. anti-biotics did not shift the infection. I did smoke, but i quit about 3 years ago. Scans were normal. And blood test was with normal range. Is my sinus damaged beyond recovery ? Is the surface of it damaged ? Could it be another problem ? > I get infection pains / heat, congestion and irritation. > I had 2 ops in 2 1/2 years.

I should add that it clears out every 2-4 days from the douche I give it. >> Try to get a second opinion from another ENT. > > OK, will do, but any ideas ?

Based on my own experience, I would suspect there is still a pocket of infection somewhere that your surgeries didn't touch. The infection may have invaded the bones of the skull (osteomyelitis), and is hiding out in there. In that case, intravenous antibiotics are often prescribed. SignatureSteven D.

It makes a different sound to my other side or before it was injured. I will ask about this treatment. > Thanks, this sounds exactly it, on the left side the sinus flaps when > it is blown.

I might also add that I heard that some injections for sinus problems were stopped in the UK, whether that is antibiotics or not I don't know and how true it is I also don't know.

Could it be hiding in a tooth (maybe in a filling) , or in a crack in a bone or just in an uninjured bone nearby ? > Could it be hiding in a tooth (maybe in a filling) , or in a crack in a > bone or just in an uninjured bone nearby ? It can be hiding *anywhere*. Your dentist can rule out a dental cause by taking a complete set of dental X-rays and checking if you have any abscesses in any upper molars. The hard one is a pocket of infection in the bone of the skull (osteomyelitis). Like I said, the best treatment for that is intravenous antibiotics, but even that doesn't always work. Bone infections are real tough to treat. SignatureSteven D. Litvintchouk Email: sdlitvin@earthlinkNOSPAM.net Remove the NOSPAM before replying to me. |
