Im always baffled about the usage of yogurt DURING antibiotic
treatments.
So I wrote to a TOP TV Doctor who works on several BIG time shows with
BIGTIME people.

The maxillary ostium connects to the nasal cavity by a narrow tubular
passage called the infundibulum, located at the highest part of the sinus;

Has anyone tried using Serrapeptase to reduce sinus
inflammation? What were the results?

sneezing, and coughing and were used for fluid dynamic modeling. Sinus CT

For as long as I can remember I have had congested sinus that I always
attributed to allergies until an allergy doctor told me (after doing the
allergic reaction test) that I don't.  That didn't explain why my sinuses
are always congested or why I get a sinus infection 3 or 4 ...

For the last 7 years or so I've used a Sonicare toothbrush.  Recently the
battery totally died and while I was in the process of researching which
electric toothbrush to buy next, I was using a manual toothbrush.
After a few days of using the manual I discovered that my post nasal ...

For several years I've been using a nasal steroid on a daily basis.
Prior to that I used an over the counter nasal decongestant.  About
two years ago, I developed a perforated septum (likely caused by the
otc decongestant spray).

    Hey, just found this newsgroup.  I've been struggling with a chronic
sinus infection, being treated by an ENT, and am heading for endoscopic surgery
next week.  It's kind of embarrassing how interested I am in my nasal output
now... ugh!  I have a question and a rant, if you all ...

All,
If you have eyeglasses and have chronic sinus problems you
may want to inspect the nose pads on your eyeglasses. I just
noticed this morning that there was mold growing around the

Hi all, I've had a headache, sore throat and runny nose for a week
now.  I booked an appointment with my doctor, but he won't be able to
see me until the end of the week.
I was wondering if anyone could tell me:

the words FATA MORGANA (the fate of morgan?) are burned into my
memory. i keep thinking of and remembering those 2 words. WHY? What are
they? a part of the nose? a book? a play? a song? a fable? an opera? a  
story? what language

Feb. 14 "07 --2.5 grams (2500mg) Slight decrease in nasal swelling.  Didn't
need decongestant for the first night in over six weeks.
Feb.15 second day 5 grams vit. C  Further reduction in nasal swelling but
still gray-greenish-yellow-thick discharge.

From several posts i have been surprised at the advice to not blow your
nose.  Or to do so at 5 PSI.  Or to do so by not plugging up one nostril
while clearing another.  I know that i am sinusly-challenged and wonder if
a lifetime of ear popping, shoulder-hunching, forceful blowing ...
