Sinus infection?

Question

Ive had PND for as long as i can remeber ive been to an ent and got an endoscopy. Everything was find he said my nose is gettin inflamed he gave me some nasal spray and that was that. I finished the nasal spray and my nose went back to bein stuffed. I bought some cheap nasal spray from wal mart and it actually works better than the presciption. So my nose stays clear but i still have a feeling of mucos stuck in my throat. I gargled with salt water, i used nasal washes nothing gets that feelin out. I really dont think i have a sinus infection cuz my mucos is clear and i dont have any sinus pains or anything. When i blow my nose real hard its like i can smell the mucos. If i rub my nose on my hand or arm i could smell a bad smell. My nose is dry also. This is giving me bad breath too I know its because that mucos build up but i cant flush it away. Any ideas on what it could be or how to move the mucos? Ive taken antihistamines and I drink plenty of water also.

Answer 1

If you are using a nasal decongestant spray over the counter eg affrin, you can actually make you congestion worse when you stop using it. Its called rebound congestion. Have you tried using regular saline (eg ocean) which will loosen up that mucous so you can gently blow it out?. Also try using a decongestant like sudafed during the day

You may want to see the doctor to find out if the spray is supposed to be continued. I'm on mine for life.
Glad you're drinking water. Be sure it's at least 8 glasses of 8 ounces per day.

OPC-3 is a super antioxidant that will help with that. It is a for of Pycnogenol which has been proven to help. I will send you the site where you can get the OPC-3 and I will also send you the site on Pycnogenols, so you can review it for yourself.
