Guest guest Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Hello, I am new to this group and I was wondering if anyone who has sinus issues has had a feeling of something moving in one spot inside their sinus cavity and above their throat. If so, what kind of medicine did you or do you use to stop this organism. Thank you in adavance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 if you can state the area you are in, someone here might know of doctors near you. also, if you put " aaem,doctor members,state " in search it should bring up a link where you enter your state and ut list doctors in your area. it can be very hard finding a doctor that will treat you. washing your sinuses,advoiding further exposures to moldly environments,chemicals,perfumes,ect. will help. > > > > it could be a cyst type thing.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 I did start the same way on the protocol. Some of us alternate and take Zithromax on Tues and Thurs, which I've done from time to time. Maybe that would help? I strongly second the Neti Pot. I have a friend with recurrent sinus infections who uses only that every night, and no longer has them.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 I use a squeeze bottle by NeilMED Sinsus Rinse. In drug stores. You can also buy single dose packages of salt to make it really simple to use. I prefer it to a Neti pot. I believe it is under $10. For the abscess I discovered in my jawbone...my physical therapist has been using a laser, programmed with the wavelength setting to kill bacteria. It has taken about 5 treatments, but the congestion and sore throat I had been experiencing are now gone. You can learn more about this laser treatment at: http://www.erchonia.com. My PT also uses a setting for arthritis. It has made all the pain in my feet disappear and has helped my hands. Still have joint pain, but now it is not symmetrical. Anybody know what that indicates?
