Severe nasal / sinus problems and chesty cough - been going on for years! Doctors don't listen to me!?

Question

I have severe problems with either blocked / runny nose and sinuses and a horrible chesty cough on a daily basis.

This sounds so gross...but you can literally hear all the gunk in my chest and when I cough it up it's horrible.

So anyway I went to my local GP who looked up my nose and said she thought it was a polyp...so she referred me to ENT. I also looked up my own nose and can see growths that look just like polyps on the Internet.

The hospital doctor spent about 2 minutes looking up my nose - I barely tilted my head so he couldn't have looked far and he just went "You've got sinusitus" and I said "what about the polyps?" and he just dismissively said "you don't have polyps!".

Instead he gave me shitty nasal sprays which I have used for years and don't make a jot of difference. I still feel awful and my nose and cough are as bad as ever.

I've never even had an endoscope to look up my nose or a chest x-ray to check out awful cough.

P.s I do not have athsma either

In response the other answers...

I have a Neti pot already (i've literally tried everything) and that only relieves symptons for about 5 mins!

2nd - I have a very good diet, full of fruit, veg, fish etc and exercise regularly so I know it's not diet related. I have also had food allergy tests done...and no - i don't have any!!!

You are not alone mate, ive had the same for about 6 years now.
I`ve had sprays, steroid tablets, antibiotics, antihystamines, decongestants of all forms and even an operation (SMR) for a deviated septum- straightened the middle bit of my nose, but now 3yrs after surgery the left side of my nose has shrunk so much i can no longer breathe through it causing a post nasal drip into my throat- Disgusting i know...ENT said there`s nothing else he can do for me either. You may feel like you are mad, but if you are then i am too!

Penile Papules are small spots (white or skin coloured) and are found around the head penis. They are an embarassing problem but the good news is that they are not infectious and aren't related in any way to sexual activity and personal hygiene. Do not try to to squeeze them, as this could lead to scarring and infection. You can decide to have the papules removed for cosmetic reasons, using a laser to vaporise the spots.If you are looking for a home remedy visit this site http://papules.toptips.org
