Psuedomonas Infection

[tangier110]

What are the symptoms of psuedomonas infection for people who are suffering from sinusities. My sinuses are blocked and am constantly congested in the nostrils. I have been expelling phlegm continuously for eight months since I had a nasal polyp removal operation. The feeling is best described as having a cold and runny nose for the period.  

Will appreciate any response. My doctor only prescribed Nasarel for use twice a day. Thanks everyone.

I am not sure as what specific symptoms, I grow out pseudomonas on a regular basis in my lungs. I do notice a distinct smell however...kind of like rotting grapes, fruity and sour. Are your secretions green? Pseudo usually yields green junk. The best way to tell if it really is pseudomonas is to get a culture of your sinuses though. If it is, there are meds that can help you, one is oral antibiotics. More stubborn infections might involve nebulized tobramycin via the nostrils.
I would talk to your ENT about your symptoms so that he or she can run appropriate tests.
I hope this helps, Sunny
