4 years after a MiniFess I still get infections, and do most of the right

My wife has been suffering severe sinus headaches on and off for the past 3
years or so.
These headaches are sometimes extremely painful and keeps her awake at
night.

Coming out of lurk mode a little bit. First let me say I've followed

I have other samples of sprays but they  have Benzalkonium Chloride in them

has anyone tried using SUDAFED for severe nasal congestion and clogged
eustachian tube? did it work? how fast is the result? any
complications?
thanks.

I recently came across some patient-education video clips which
includes a sinus exam seen through a rhinolaryngoscope. I've hooked
the files up to an FTP site, together with some assorted graphics
and a few texts on the subject while I was at it. Unfortunately,

Hi Doctor--
   I had posted before on my almost total inability to smell and taste.
   But, something happened, which (I hope) may be a clue.
