Thank you for your comment; that particular treatment wasn’t offered; but it may be because I had just finished up two back to back antibiotic and steroid combos for pneumonia; Antibiotic treatment would have equalled around 21 days, the steroid was likely 10 days if I remember correctly.

I have CRS (no polyps) that has gradually worsened overtime since it began in 2022. I have the same symptoms as listed above; PND, rubber cement. It started as thick mucus feeling in nasopharynx but now it's always stuck in other areas of my nasal passages and/or I'm highly sensitive to it. My ENT didn't offer antibiotic/steriod at first, either. Septoplasty/turbinate reduction surgery was suggested at my very 1st appointment, 2nd appointment was just to do CT scan to confirm the need for surgery, and 3rd appointment was literally the surgery. A culture test wasn't even done until two months after surgery. Six months after surgery I still had problems so they tried radiofrequency ablation on the posterior nasal nerve, to no luck. By now, I've tried every spray, OTC and prescription, steriods, antibiotics, humidifier, purifier, Allergist and shots, etc.. It's's been a year and 3 months since surgery and I still have problems with my nose/sinuses, except now it's so bad that I lost my career job from missing too many days or hours. It's a daily thing that takes 1.5-3 hours, up to three times a day, to clear. On bad days I spend 4-6 hours straight just rinsing and trying to clear, without a break. Meanwhile, my ENT says they've done all they can for me so I'm looking for a new one. Im convinced I'm living in hell. My 12 year olds both hate me for being "sick" so often because they don't understand it, nobody understands it. It's ruined my physical and mental health, my family, my income, and financial stability. Sorry, to ramble on with my story, I only meant to comment the first part. Lol.
