Re: Why do 38 million Americans have chronic sinus infections?
Sinus infection or is it Sinus inflammation?
I saw seven ENT doctor
SIX ENT doctors, offered
Antibiotics rounds of
clindamycin I took a couple rounds. Did nothing. Then one offered clathromycin and steroids the fifth one sold me sinus surgery that I did not need and the sixth ENT told me that I was sold a surgery I did no need. The seventh one seemed totally check out.
l will strongly suggest please,DO NOT just have sinus surgery there are risks, once the sinus holes are bigger
unpleasant things begin to happen my seasonal allergies were so much worse now because of the surgery . We are created a certain way for good reason.
Worst case scenario that one of the ENT doctor causes Empty Nose Syndrome. People commit suicide over this ENS buyer beware some of these ENT doctor are worst than used car salesmen. If you have to choose a surgeon that is conservative someone that does tons of plastic surgery more air in the sinuses is not always the answer. You did not have the sinus issue when you were born so WHAT is causing it now is the question?
MY ND did a nasal smear and used an independent lab, and I had certain type of fungus in my nose so I took BEGS spray the reason the other seven ENT missed this they did not study with Ritchie Shoemaker.
So after this my sinus no longer had infection nbut still not wel
After months go by and I have no sinus infection. My sinus still feel odd I go to the chief of ENT
I have clear thick mucous,
and very swollen inflamed tissues. It is tissue,
inflammation a reaction no less to something
The ENT resident intern asked me about
food allergies , I already know that you should not eat, wheat, gluten dairy or
Sugar and I knew
some ice-cream are toxic virus carrier that result in sinus infections.
I was asked about air quality in our house was it checked for radon, leaks , mold spores etc. What type of plants, such as trees, bushes house plants were in or around our house?
What about pet dander?
Then the doctor looked in my nose it was so swollen inside that he said, "a CAT SCAN would be totally useless until all the swelling goes down so you can actually see something"
I was placed on a steriod wash Budesonide which is an amazing strong steroid which I put my neti pot,which I was told to mix with my saline solution daily I added a tiny bit of organic coconut oil
in case of biofilm. I did the neti pot and then hang my head upside down for 20 minutes
My molar was hurting and I believe that this tooth infection was causing sinus inflammation
Again my sinus had
no infection just major inflammation. How come most ENT do not know this? How come I paid them to guess?
I could of guessed myself
and saved myself the money and time.
I went to dentist that does a Vitality test he checked every tooth. I had death tooth a molar the one next to it was really hurting so that one might have to go but I had the death one extracted . The dentist said it was infected, and it had eaten through the bone How come the scans, panoramic, high resolution CAT scan not show this? i guess it is it not as accurate as dentist might have us believe
