Ok, This is what I want to know: During the last couple months of bad weather,and huge amts.of pollen,allegies,stuff in the atmosphere,Hot,hot weather,and having bronchitus & sinusitus together in the late Spring(cause of bad weather,Doc said)at least twice. I got it for the 3rd time in the hot summer.
My doctor is a good intern,and smart,but not an ENT.He is a good general practictioner.I said,"Should I go to ENT?I am afraid I'm gonna die!!" He says,"No,it is just a very bad year for allergies"(I think lots of other people here,older especially,like me at 58,are sick,too,have a hard time getting over this.)"Everyone is getting sick." But,he does not have to worrry;I'm the 3-time loser with sinus infection and bronchitus 3 times in a row,over a whole winter,spring,and summer.
All he has me doing is: Using Nasonex nose spray,(should I use Flonase?)using saltwater nose spray, five days of Zithromax(again)after which he wants me to use Septra(which I used for years,and it does not work on me anymore,cause of built-up tolerance)and since I have not used the Septra for 2 or 3 years,he says the Septra will work on me;so does the pharmacist. I try to use:a Bronchial steamer,which I wash out religiously,each time I use it,although some of it breaks off in tiny pieces,VicksVapoRub all over my chest,and sinus,and it helps me breathe SO MUCH BETTER.Now,I cannot take:real pill decongestants;why?They conflict with my Effexor medicine(for depression).Honest,I can't use decongestants.This IS A BIG PROBLEM IN HELPING DECONGESTING MY SINUS!
