I find reading people’s story helpful, too. This is long, but maybe knowing about these meds will help someone.

For my sinuses, I currently use “triple spray,” from Mayo’s compounding pharmacy, 2x daily. It contains Mometazone, Ipratropium, and diphenhydramine. I also do sinus rinses twice daily with Mometazone, compounded by a local pharmacy and ordered by Penn’s frontal sinus doc. (Note: frontal sinus had actually cleared before long awaited appointment happened. Local ENT had treated it with round of antibiotics and prednisone followed by 6 weeks of Tobrax eye drops into nostrils in a head hanging position). Penn doc ordered the Mometasone because I still had a lot of PND and hoarseness.

Before Mayo ordered the triple spray, I was on the combo of Azelastine and Flonase. My cough had improved dramatically with addition of Azelastine and I was reluctant to change to Mayo’s spray-didn’t until pollen season heated up. 😀 Once I tried it, Mayo’s spray doesn't taste as bad, is cheaper and sometimes seems more effective, but I get better/worse and am not certain. Note: I had been on the Atrovent (Ipratropium) when living in another state and it seemed to help then, too. I’d think adding it to Stiolta/flonase would be similar to the triple spray.. Flonase alone, which docs seem to love, has never impressed me.

BTW, Penn recommends the NeilMed bottle for sinus rinsing and has a video on how to do it without impacting ears (say k…). Just saline rinses help at times.

For my mild asthma, I’m on Advair inhaler 2x daily.
Changing the inhaler from Stiolta to Advair took care of my persistent little cough in 48 hours-another miracle drug. 😀 I was almost cough free for first time in ages! I also use Albuterol as part of airway clearance and occ. use albuterol inhaler if I cough after exercise.
