Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / November 2007Staph Aureus Sinus Infection?
Has anyone beat this? If so, how? I have a low grade infection or it just might be these bacteria are present without causing many problems. I've tried amoxycillin, Leviquin, and Cipro without success. Mine is I think long standing, and isn't cause many symptoms, but I need to have a sinus lift, and it being there presents a problem. Any ideas? Are there doctors that just deal with these types of organisms? What specialty would they be? Thanks! > Has anyone beat this? If so, how?

They should be able to figure out what strain it is, and prescribe an antibiotic that IS effective against that strain. The fact that you, or somebody else, is throwing antibiotic after antibiotic at it (apparently) without this information -- while not surprising OR that unusual -- isn't particularly helpful ... particularly if it's NOT a bacterial infection. Are you being treated by an ENT?? That's the first place to start. On Nov 28, 10:05 pm, neil0...@yahoo.com wrote: > > Has anyone beat this? If so, how?

That's the first place to start. Thank you for your replies. Yes, I'm being treated by an ENT and an allergist who says I'm extremely allergic. I did have it cultured (many times), and those antibiotics were supposed to work according to the lab report and they didn't. What neurologic implications do you mean? Are you saying in general, or if I have the sinus lift? Isn't sinus surgery done though with an active infection present, and isn't that why it's done--to clear infected matter? > Has anyone beat this? If so, how?
