Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 , Has Elish had a CT of her sinuses? Shaelin had one infection after the other from July to December when he finally went back in to have sinus polyps removed. I was so frustrated before then. He would be on antibiotics for a month, all symptoms would resolve within a couple of days of being on the med and 72 hours after they were stopped, his runny nose, congestion and cough returned. Even after triple IV antibiotics in November he did not remain symptom free for long. The ENT told me children with cf who are prone to developing polyps usually need to have them removed every 3 months to 3 years. I hope Shaelin falls into the latter category. He is on Rhinocort Aqua nasal spray to help delay their recurrance but it is too soon to tell as of yet whether it will help. He is too young for saline washes and I only do the saline nasal spray when he gets a cold which luckily he had not had since surgery. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 Jeanne, She had her sinuses washed put in April last year. I don't know if they found polyps. They probably told me but I have forgotten. The specialist said to us Narium spray but I have to get another script for that. (Australia) Sinuses , Has Elish had a CT of her sinuses?
