Guest guest Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 Hi, I have not posted in a while, have a hard time fighting for computer time with my 3 kids.... All 3 of my children seem to be getting a the start of a sinus infection. No coughing, but very thick green nasal discharge. They have just recently gotton off an antibiotic and don't want to have to start them again so soon. Does anyone have any advice on how to try to get rid of a sinus infection??? Thanks for any advice. Vicki Mom of 3 wcf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 We had the same problem with our 4 year old daughter. we finally had surgery on her sinuses done and so far it has worked out good. that was 3 months ago. she had to stay all night but otherwise everything went well. She took a steroid and antibiotic for 14 days after the surgery and so far so good. i hope everything works out for you.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 How would you find out, I see my doc tomorrow and will mention it to him, Thanks for the suggestion, I am so behind in my emails, it's crazy. MarlaJust one day at a time, That's all God ask of us. for there never really is a tomorrow, as that too is just today:) Marla, have your docs considered the possibility of fungal infection in your sinuses? That's a common cause of recurrent sinusitis, which is just worsened by repeated courses of antibiotics.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Marla, here is a link to a website by doctors devoted to sinus problems. Although the reference to Mayo is from 1999, this website is more current, with a recent update. As you can see, it's not a simple thing to treat. Also, cultures need to be taken from the sinuses, not just nasal. I have no idea how difficult or uncomfortable that might be. http://www.sinuses.com/fungal.htm Here is another site: http://www.suite101.com/content/fungal-sinusitis-a150965 I just typed "fungal sinusitis" in my browser & gots lots of responses; most seem like credible sites. I hope you have time to check these out before your appt. If you are pressed for time, read the second one--it's shorter & simpler. Good luck! Ramblin' RoseModerator A merry heart is good medicine.
