From all I've read it seems as if there is no cure for PND.  There are many suggestions but it seems as though the only treatment is to try many things and hope something works.  I haven't seen anyone recomending herbal or natural remedies.  I'm sure some homeopathic remedies can do what all the Prescribed nostrums claim to do.

I don't think the established medical community could endorse anything not made by the pharmaceutical industry.

Hi,

Are you on any medications currently? Has a CT scan of your sinuses been done? Are you allergic to any specific substances? Have you had allergic reactions in the past?

You could take oral antihistamine medications like cetrizine or loratadine and see if it helps with your symptoms. Also take steam inhalation and saline nasal drops several times a day.

If your symptoms still persist, you should consult your doctor because then you would need to get certain investigations done and would probably need steroid nasal sprays and a course of antibiotics.

Let us know about any other doubts that you have and post us on how you are doing.

Regards.
