In need of suggestions !!! I have had sinus infections for more than two years with cultures revealing three staph infections over this period. Antibiotics have reduced green phlegm, but not eliminated it. Change in locations do not help. I cough a lot day and night, and of course, this has exacerbated my asthma and certainly reduced my quality of life because I do not go to movies, out to eat, etc. because of coughing. What is the next course of action. I think my doctors are tired of seeing me.

I HAVE HAD MANY YEAR OF SINUS PROBLEMS.....NO DOCTOR COULD HELP ME OVER 15 YEARS......ANTIBIOTICS HARLDY HELPED ME AND THE CURE WAS TEMPORARY. I AM CURED BY DOING THE FOLLOWING; 1. HAVE TINY GREEN PEPPER (WHICH IS VERY HOT) WITH MY MEAL 2. BUY Eucalyptus OIL AND PUT IT IN THE STEAMER TO BREATH IT FOR 10-20 MIUNTES ITEM 2 WAS ONLY DONE FOR A WEEK, ITEM 1 IS ONGOING. GOOD LUCK, IT WORKED ON ME!

try using SINE O FRESH.it is a nasal spray with eucalyptus in it; order it from cvs or walgreens or such. about 18. dollars but worth it. it is for maintaining a sinus-infection free nose. good luck ps to poster number one, I'd get new docs

I AM FACING SINUS FROM LAST 9-10 YEARS, THERE IS NO PROPER ADVICE FROM DOCTORS AND THEY ARE FAILED TO DIGONISE IT. HOW TO COME OUT FROM THIS TYPE OF ALLERGIES/INFECTION FOR EVER?

fla32247, the next step would be twofold - use a Neti Pot(saline nasal rinse every morning), and see your Allergist, get skin tested for allergies, and then start immunotherapy. Bad allergies can influence the amount of sinus infections one gets. Immunotherapy can improve quality of life drastically with long lasting effects.

Found it very helpful..... the only news bumped in at the Yahoo Homepage when i was having those itches since a few days(had sinus). I figured out that I had an allergy rather than an infection...Thanks
