[QUOTE="SRL, post: 126937, member: 701"] It's important to get to the root of the mucous producers. It it's allergies and it's not addressed through what usually is a combination immunotherapy, environmental control, and medications, it's more apt to return since it will be continually challenged. If it's from colds, that really depends on how good of control is achieved. I had my sinus surgery about 5 years ago and up until last week when I made a medication change due to blood pressure problems, I was only using Allergra-D as needed. I'd add Singulaire during colds, but that was mostly to target asthma. I've probably only been on antibiotics for sinuses twice once my ear tube was put in (which was the final piece of my puzzle) and no need for oral steroids. If I quit dairy altogether I could probably have reduced the needs for medications most of the year. I hit difficult child with Singulaire and Extendryl (antihistamine/decong) during a cold, with immediate followup with steroid and antibiotic if symptoms persist. Since Allegra-D raises pulse rate and BiPolar (BP), I'm trialing a new nasal spray called Veramyst. It's a corticosteroid like the others but in non scented and has a aeresol delivery system. I haven't had to pay for it yet--no doubt it's a million dollars.... Levaquin gave me a major visual hallucination!! Full color kaleidescope before my eyes! One last thought--I still think there's nothing like the surgery to give the sinuses a fresh start but I just started into chiropractic for neck pain and was pretty skeptical about all the other health benefits. But after 3 visits my breathing was noticably clearer and I haven't been at all careful with dairy. [/QUOTE]
