More on allergy and sinus problems

[Guest guest]

This is a continuing saga with me and sinus issues, but I will try

to be brief.

This is a common problem in my house so i had to overanalyze it.

But after some research, esp. on fungus infection as cause for sinus

infection, I did some analysis of my son. I have come to the

conclusion that my son's sinus infections come after he has been on

antifungal for an extended time.

It seems he is good for 5-6 months on Diflucan, 4-5 months on

Nizoral, 3 months on Lamisil. Then the sinus drainage starts, we go

to ped, we get ANTIBIOTICS, IT DOES NOT REALLY GET BETTER, TRY

ANOTHER ANTIBIOTIC, at some point in time change the antifungal, and

we have a spell for 3-6 months of good sinus.

In other words, next time we switch antifungal (I hope TODAY as he

has been on Diflucan since DECEMBER, and sinus problems started in

late July) I am going to closely watch the sinuses. If drainage

stays away for 4-5 months I m happy, and if it then starts up i am

going to try to get Dr g to switch antifungal instead of or along

with the antibiotics.

Sorry to ramble on about this but i really think you all on this

list are the only ones that might listen .

Thanks
