Re: NeilMed Sinus Rinse

[Guest guest]

I use it everyday and it helps a ton since I have eustachian tube disfunction, but I have not been brave enough to use it on my daughter, who is the one with cholesteatoma.

Hey there,Has anyone with Cholesteatoma surgery ever used a sinus rinse before? If so, did it affect your ear at all? My ENT sells it and I forgot to ask him if I could use it.

I was told I have eustachian tube disfunction, but the Dr. said there is nothing they can do to fix that. What is it that you use to help with your eustachian tube disfunction?

Some people have exercises they use, and I like the NeillMed Sinus rinse. I don't know why it helps, but it does.

,I've been told my numerous ear infections, which led to my ear drum perforatation cholesteatoma are a result of eustachian tube disfunction. Like you, was also told there is nothing they can do for the disfunction. I've used the nasal rinse, and it is great if I have mucus but it doesn't help if there is no mucus to rinse out. I'm on a allergy meds, which helps some. When it is hurting or feels "full" and the yawning, blowing, or other mouth exercises don't work; I take a decongestant/pain reliever. The decongestant opens up the passages and seems to do the same for my Eustaschian tube. I've found the Aleve-D works the best and my ENT said that is fine to take as long as not too often.Good Luck,Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®From: Sefton <seftonmichelle@...>Sender: cholesteatoma Date: Mon, 14 Mar 2011 10:43:32 -0700 (PDT)<cholesteatoma >Reply cholesteatoma Subject: Re: NeilMed Sinus Rinse I was told I have eustachian tube disfunction, but the Dr. said there is nothing they can do to fix that.

I also use nasonex spray. I think it is a steriod?

,Thanks for the info. I am just very frustrated. My ear feels full all the time. Before surgery they said it was eustachian tube disfunction and c-toma. After they removed the c-toma it feels exactly the same except now I have severe tinitus too! And I was told I was "feeling" the difference in hearing. I'm tired of being told there is nothing we can do. This new doctor sent me for a hearing aide consult which I have today. I guess I just need to get used to having a plugged up ear- I've been dealing with this for 4 years or so- you would think I would get used to it! I will try taking a decongestant and see what that does.Thanks again!

Thank you! It seems the doctors I have been seeing don't want to prescribe anything- just live with it I guess.
