Pseudomonas vs post nasal drip

[Guest guest]

What are the symptoms of someone with pseudomonas? Would it be

different symptoms for someone who does not culture it in their

throat? Can the symptoms be similar to post nasal drip?

We had clinic today and my son has not gained weight since Oct 2003

and has had a mild, what I would say is similar to post nasal drip,

cough. Sometimes the cough is more frequent than other times and

always clears up with an albuterol treatment. His cough is non-

producing and not chronic.

Because my son cannot cough anything up, the doc wants to do a

bronchoscopy to which they also tell me does not introduce any other

or additional bacteria into the lungs.

Is there something else I should be discussing with my doctor? Is

there something different I should be doing? ie - seeing an ENT

doc? I am scheduling to see one this week.

Any and all help/suggestions are greatly appreciated.

See if you can get a referral to an ENT. My son has had a post nasal

drip for a long time and we found out his adenoids were blocking his

sinuses by 80%. Surgery is next week. Just a thought

He snored a bit and whenever he got the slightest cold, he'd get

really congested and we could hardly suction it out. His nose just

ran sometimes for no apparent reason (no cold, no allergies ).

My son is having surgery 2 weeks from today. Did you get a Cat scan of your

son's sinus? That will show physical things (polps, aneiods, etc.) or pockets

of mucuos?

At a certain point nothing will help........the expression my ENT used was

" its like pissing into the ocean " .............
