Here’s a semi-condensed version of what feels like a long saga.

I had very large amounts of post nasal drip and a bad cough for a long time. My former primary MD ignored the complaints. After a the “terrible chest CT,” (f/u of an Urgent Care visit), he referred me to a pulmonologist who ordered Azelastine, Mucinex and Stiolta. I was on Flonase. PFT showed asthma. When the second CT 3 months later was not better, pulmonologist sent me to ENT.

ENt did nasal endoscopy and ordered CT of sinus, which showed opacity of frontal sinus. He prescribed Augmentin and a prednisone taper. I felt great for a few weeks. At next visit, he said he saw green pus and referred me to a frontal sinus specialist at the U and had me start Tobrax drops in head hanging back position. I also had allergy testing which showed severe allergy to oak and birch pollen and mild or moderate reactions to a few others.

I saw ENT at U last week and frontal sinus had cleared, but still had lots of secretions. He prescribed a steroid to add to my Neil med bottle for long term use.
Between those ENT visits, I went to Mayo and was negative for MAC, but have bronchiectasis. They changed pulmonary meds and had me start airway clearance.
