Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 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.
