Sinusitis, Allergic Rhinitis & Asthmatic Bronchitis Ongoing

Posted by covidstinks2023 @covidstinks2023, 4 days ago

Precious Folks, I am going into my 3rd week of Sinus infection,
Allergic Rhinitis & Asthmatic Bronchitis. Pollen has been terrible here and upper respiratory infections are abundant right now.

I am on my 2nd round of antibiotics, prednisone, Nebulizer &
a new rescue inhaler & prescription cough syrup so I can sleep.
Staying hydrated. Taking Vitamin D, C & Zinc.

Running a cool mist humidifer. I have used NAC for a few days then switched to Guafenesin per doctor's suggestion.

I irrigate sinus with saline and prescription solution x2 daily, constant drainage and sinus headache. Still blowing out green and it's thick and a lot of mucus.

Still coughing up green from asthmatic bronchitis and wheezing.
No pneumonia per my 2nd visit this past week (most grateful).

I was given a methylprednisilone injection this past Thursday which helped open up my lungs. I don't like being on this many steroids.

More prone to a flareup (not quite like this one!) since having COVID.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. God Bless You All!

pacathy, My old ENT doctor (he has since passed away) would culture my nose when I was not responding to antibiotics for a 3 month long sinus infection. I had 3 types of bacteria growing
in my sinuses. I worked in the medical field at that time and was catching everything that
came in the health center. He ended up putting me on Clindamycin and it knocked it out.

Blessings & Prayers....

I think you should consider asking about a culture if you’re coughing up green sputum.

pacathy, Thank you. No longer coughing up green....just a lot of mucus that is thick and clear.
Also sinus infection is almost clear. I am a slow healer.

Thank you so much for your concern and advice. Bless you.
