I find the connection with Astepro very interesting. This winter I came down with a sinus infection which exhibited as heavy thick mucus constantly filling my sinuses with pinkish color in the right side. It was a companied by some thick, clear globs of mucus I would have to cough up from my lungs. Urgent care put me on prednisone since I had no fever. This helped a little and I also ceased using Astepro and Allegra while on the taper. At the end of this I had lost my voice and had to go on Nystatin oral suspension 4 times a day for thrush on my vocal chords . By the end of that treatment, my sinuses were fine, my sense of smell restored, my Eustachian tubes behaving, and I am staying off all sinus meds even though our pollen season is still active. I am concluding that Astepro was the culprit! I was originally prescribed Aselastine as you were. I will discuss this with my ENT and thank you for bringing this to our attention for those of us with frequent sinus problems. Mine stem from EGPA ( Churgg Strauss disease) and I had thought Astepro was a good product — until it wasn’t!!
I will still need to figure out what to use when I need to fly in a plane so as not to be deaf for a week!
Always something, but very grateful for sharing of helpful information from this wonderful site!!
Thank you for your post!
