this is my first post as I just registered and need some help and
advice on nasal polyps.
I have had a really heavy head cold for around about a week.  After 3
to 4 days I, when wiping the inside of my left nostril, felt something

Hi, I'm new to this so bear with me.  Just got back from the Dr. this
afternoon and my polyps are back again.  Had surgery 1st of Feb. - my ENT
said he'd never seen so many polyps after the surgery.  I did fine
afterward for awhile but started back with my earlier smptoms, no smell ...

I have this incredibly awful full feeling in my ear - I literally just
woke up with it - the onset was very sudden.  I have tried Hydrogen
peroxing it, it is definitely not a wax problem.
I haven't done anything recently to suggest that I might have an

Having had so many problems since my deviated septum surgery, and having
gone to any number of doctors--with no assistance whatsoever--I called my
ENT to ask again, did he do anything with the turbinates during the
surgery. He said that he had done a reconstruction of the turbinates ...

The longevity and severity with which I've suffered sinusitis depresses
me. Nothing has provided lasting relief. Polyps keep returning. I wonder
if they will ultimately result in complications leading to my end. This
may be unduly pessimistic, since I've never heard of a fatality

I had deviated septum surgery back in January. After the surgery I began to
experience a lot of phlegm and mucous backing up in my throat. I spent the
next few months going to the doctor who performed the surgery. Everything
he did failed to make me feel better. I was then sent to ...

What's the best way to relieve/treat a sore throat that's caused by
sinusitis? I've had this for three months now, and it's driving me crazy.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,

I heard about this and how it may shrink the membranes?
Is there a benifit with irrigating with cold water once in a while?  Or is
it just a temporary relief?
Thanx ;)

I'm on my second water pik and second Grossan attachment.
Can't get the water pressure to go beyond the second-from-lowest setting. It
sputters at anything higher.
Haven't used anything but water with these yet.

Hey! :) Whenever I use Rhinocort, I can feel it at the back of my throat.
But is it OK for me to swallow, spit, cough, or hack it up?  
Also, is it unsafe to push the excess mucus down using your throat to push
it down rather than cough? (like swallowing, but only pusing down)

I am already using irragation w/bulb. Are there other products that can
help moisten my nasal passages?
Thanks!

I went to another ent today to get a 2nd opinion on the smell that I get
and how I can taste it.  Biggest waste of my time.  The ENT said I
probably have a brain abnormality and that its something that cannot be
fixed, therefore I must live with it.  I dont know whether to be mad or ...

I have had sinus congestion most of my life, and have recently begun
to irrigate, as I have found this very helpful, more helpful than
drugs or sprays.
I currently use a bulb syringe and find this does the job, but would

I have recently been diagnosed after a number of years of sinus
problems with Aspergillus fumigatus. I assume this is AFS. Rather than
a number of surgeries to try and clear this I would like to know what
the latest non-surgical treatments are and how effective they are.
