Question 1

I've been dealing with sinus issues for almost 25 years, and it seems to get worse whenever the climate changes. I've been using Nosikind drops for my nose, which helps a bit but not completely. It usually starts with a scratchy throat, and by the next day, I have a runny nose, body aches, and sometimes a fever. I've tried so many medications but they only seem to work for a short time before my symptoms come back. What else can I do to manage these symptoms better?

Question 2

I'm really worried because it's been over 20 days and I just can't seem to sneeze. The issue began when my coworker jokingly hit me hard on the belly after lunch, and I had stomach pain for about 1.5 days after that. Normally, I sneeze around 23 times a day, but ever since then, it's like my nose starts the sneeze feeling, but my lungs just don't follow through. I've heard that sneezing helps get rid of dust particles at 320 kmph, so I'm concerned there might be serious health problems if I can't sneeze. I've even tried things like dusting the house and sniffing black pepper to bring on a sneeze, but nothing works. Could this just be something time will fix on its own, or should I be doing something specific to help? I'm feeling pretty anxious about it all. Any advice would be really helpful.

Question 3

I'm curious about some issues I've been having. I've been dealing with sinus infections and nasal polyps for about 5 years now. I went through surgery back in June 2016, but just a few months later, the same problems started again. Lately, I've been noticing my nose gets completely blocked, sometimes just one side, but there are days when both are blocked. It feels like something is stuck in there, and its really hard to breathe, especially at night. I've been using XyloFlo nasal steroids for the past two years whenever things get bad, and I also use a neti pot with saline tabs. I have a CT scan that's less than a year old if you think it might help. I'd really appreciate any advice you can offer because it's getting pretty frustrating and it's hard to focus on studying for my exams. Any thoughts on what I can do to feel better?

Accepted Answer

Since you have been using Xyloflo nasal steroids for temporary relief, I recommend adding a nasal corticosteroid spray like Flonase (fluticasone) or Nasonex (mometasone) to your treatment regimen. These can help reduce inflammation in the nasal passages and improve breathing. Additionally, considering your history of chronic sinus issues, it may be beneficial to use a saline nasal irrigation system regularly, such as NeilMed Sinus Rinse, to help keep your nasal passages clear and reduce the risk of infections. I would also suggest consulting with your ENT doctor to review your recent CT scan and discuss the possibility of further treatment options, such as a different type of nasal steroid or the use of oral corticosteroids in a tapering dose to help manage the inflammation more effectively.

I'm worried because I had a throat scan that showed a cyst lesion. I'm still breastfeeding, and I'm not sure if it's safe to take ceftum and predmet. Can you tell me if these medications are okay for me to use while nursing?

yes you can take but dont take predmet more than 40 mg in a day
