I posted before about my sinus problem. My first sinus infection at the
start of January has now cleared. I am however still troubled by the
ear fullness sensation on my right ear. It is not as bad as before but
I would really wish to get rid of this problem.

I've gone back and searched old messages, but could not find much on
anyone's experience with the Sinus Busters pepper spray.  I tried a bottle
and used it only when going to bed.  It seemed to clear things out pretty
good and made it easier to fall asleep.

I read about this product at
http://www-surgery.ucsd.edu/ent/DAVIDSON/NASHAND/nasal.htm  I'm having
problems with halitosis because (I think) from PND.  I've been gargling
with alkalol but it hasn't worked.  I can't seem to find any meaningful

I had my Fess surgery a week ago due to large nasal polyps and
re-occurring infections and also having no sense of smell for the last
2 years. I had put off the surgery once, but decided on going ahead
with the surgery after 3 separate lots of antibiotics would not shift

On the ABC news the other night there was a segment on a new procedure
for sinus sufferers. It's called Balloon Sinuplasty. I Googled for
additional information. I came up with the following site.

I'm a on a war-path on my pnd problem...My ENT thinks I have to
disparate problems, LPR and imflammation in my nasal area.  I'm getting
a ph probe test next week to figure out the LPR.  I'm still trying to
figure out the pnd problem.  I've been tested for allergies and all

My daughter was diagnosed with chronic sinusitis yesterday by an
allergist at Children's Memorial Hospital.  He didn't culture her, just
took her history, looked up her nose and down her throat etc.  He did a
bunch of skin tests and she was negative on skin tests.

I have been diagnosed as above after many years of illness and surgery
for chronic sinusitus.  I use antibioticsand prednisone when acutely
ill and various nasal irrigations on a constant basis but am in
unbearable pain especially in the aftermath of my frequent infections.

I have been on antibiotics for 11 months out of 14 one surgery in June
and one in Feb. I am sick literally all of the time as you all know how
that goes.  I have a 2.5 year old who is suffering from all of this as
well as having some sinus trouble also.  We live in Knoxville, TN so ...

A few months ago my Allergist put me on a new therapy for nasal polyps.
I take a syringe (no needle) and fill it with 8 cc's of saline, and add
a pulmicort respual (sp) to equal 10 cc's.
I mix it and hang off the side of my bed and do a sinus flush for 10

I am so sick of this I could scream.  I just had surgery a year ago this
month.  Normally that lasts years.  I now have a nagging headache and
(sorry) when I blow my nose it is very bloody.  Just on the left side.  That
has always been where my problem was/is.  If he says surgery ...

I was booked in for FESS and one of my "friends" on this site asked me to
get another opinion.I did.I went to another specialist who was not keen on
surgery.My ostia were closed up and I was getting terrible infections that
would not work with "ordinary" antibiotics(like Augmentin ...

i believe that it was Dave who opened this topic on a non-surgical
treatment for sinus polyps.  rather than reply to that topic which might
get lost i am opening a new one to ask if anyone is aware of any published
documentation on this treatment to which i could refer my doctor?

Per my ENT's advice I started irrigating on a daily basis to deal with
my post nasal drip problem.  And I'm glad I've picked up this habit,
it's really helped my nose feel cleaner and less stuffy.  On the other
hand, it's never eliminated my pnd problem.  As a matter of fact, I
