Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 GREAT!!! I hope you relate that to the doc. If he is any good, he will want to follow up with you & see if it works regularly. Who knows, he might start having others get better quicker & easier too. Bless you for sharing. Have a great time ahead LOVE & HUGS, GrandmomBEV Thank you all Hi, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for their advice on how to treat sinus infections and to tell everyone about the success I had with it!!! Two of my children, both with CF, were on an antibiotic which they finished about 2 weeks ago. 3-4 days after finishing the antibiotic their sinus infection started up again. The discharge first clear then white then yellow then GREEN!!! (sorry to be so graphic) I tried to follow the doctors advice which was to keep cleaning their nose out with saline 5 times a day and give them Rynatan which is a decongestent. They were both getting worse day by day (no cough just really stuff up) The doctors wanted to start them on antibiotic. I starting following the suggestions from everyone here.....switched from Rynatan to Robitussin....started to use Xlear nasal wash and tea tree oil inhalations. I am absolutely amazed. Within two days their nose is clear ...... They can both breath through their nose again !!!! I am so HAPPY not to have to start them on an antibiotic again. I hope this continues. My clinic does not believe in using Robitussin because they believe it just increases the mucous, but when I was using the Rynatan it was just getting worse. Does any other clinics recommend not to use Robitussin? Well thank you so much. I sometimes feel the people on this list know more about how to treat CF then our doctors do.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 Great news, Vicky! The combo of guaifenesin and tea tree oil works miracles, doesn't it? Hope the clear noses and easy breathing continues! Sometimes the xylitol (Xlear) helps me when I'm stuffy, but sometimes it makes me stuffy... so I just try to keep things out of my nose. But glad the combo helped when your kids needed nasal washing!
