I had a bike accident and sustained a concussion.  Right now, I have a
horrible headache along with the sinus pain.  Is it okay to go ahead
and irrigate or should I be careful with the concussion?

I'm getting over a sinus infection brought on by my continual
congestion (turbinate hypertrophy). I have finished a 7 day course of
Augmentin Duo and have not noticed any more green phlegm. I do however,
still have the yucky sickly taste from the thick post nasal drip which

One week ago I started with a damn sinus infection. It is still bad and has
now become and upper and lower respritory infection (bronchitis-- hopefully
not pneumonia).
Doc prescribed Amoxicillan.

Hi all, my doc has recommended surgery and i'm a little scared moderate
mucousal thickening of the maxillary's and ethmoid, Dr. Davidson in San
Diego, CA will be performing the surgery. i was wondering is the
surgery safe? should i continue on antibiotics been on low dose

I am getting terrible PND.  Is the nasal spray just as good as irrigation?
These pots and things people talk about don't seem to be available in
Australia, at least not in the pharmacies.  I'm hoping the nasal spray is
just as good.

so, I had my surgery yesterday...completely painless! Little bleeding,
so i'm very happy about that.
Day2, when should I start seeing/feeling the results?
- 0 pain, haven't had any oxycoton since 10pm last night and it's

I've had this damn sinus infection since 9/1

OK, still doing miserably for 4 weeks.
The 10 days of amoxicillan helped a bit but hasn't done the trick (it did
knock out some bronchitis though).
Now, here's the deal.

I am having continuous sinus infection problems.
The major symptoms are the wiped-out sick feeling (feels like I have a fever
but don't), sore throat, lousy feeling in sinus (but no significant problems
breathing).

Started with a sinus infection, went to bronchitis and started threatening
pneumonia all in 1 week.
Dr. prescribed amoxicillan. Within 2-3 days it helped tremendously, mostly
with the bronchitis, respritory problems. Thank goodness for that. I started

I had a severe nasal cauterization of my nasal passage way that
left me without (i believe) much cilia left in the path of the acid
that
was applied throughout my nasal passageway.

Is this method of irrigation ok/safe, is there anyone in this group
currently using this method?

I've (or so I thought) been suffering the symptoms of sinusitis for 7-8
months now. I outlined much of what has happened in a previous thread
that can be found <a

As I've posted many times here, I was sick most of last year and this
year with a chronic sinus infection .  I was at the brink of ethmoid
and maxillary surgery when I switched to an ENT who changed his
treatment to 30 day Levaquin, Medrol pak, and horse pill size

I'm having continuing violent spasms inside the right side of my
nose (turbinate?) and underneath my right eye and the steroid
spray, Nasacort, is not helping. I can't sleep without sedation
