Chronic sinusitis not frequent acute infection Posted: 01-02-08 10:25am
My mother has been suffering from chronic
sinusitis for the past 10 years or so.
This is more or less continuous chronic
sinusitis not frequent acute infection.
She underwent the fess surgery about 3
years ago. Although there is some
improvement in her condition she still has
chronic headaches and acute episodes every
two months or so. And these episode are
really severe, making her bed ridden.
She has consulted more than a dozen
doctors in the past 2 years. They
prescribe the usual antibiotics and nasal
spray, but there is only short-term
relief.
She has followed all the usual procedures
- antibiotics, nasal sprays, humidifiers,
drinking water.
What i need to know is how common such
acute cases of chronic sinusitis are...and
is there any thing we are missing out..has
anybody come across such cases...??/
P.S: She did a culture and the infection
is not fungal. Just though i must add
that.
