Need more infoi: Do you really have a bacterial sinus infection or is it an allergy or is it viral? We do prescribe antibiotics for H Pylori but not for all sinus conditions.

Question 4

what should i use to unblock my sinus passage?

Accepted Answer

Sinus congestion: There are a lot of ways to improve breathing through your nose and sinuses.  The first thing I have patients do is use saline.  It's natural and is quite effective.  You can use it in a number of different ways, from spray to irrigation, even a nettie pot.  It's so effective, that even in the face of a sinus infection, it's beneficial and improves symptoms as much as prescription medicines.

Question 5

how long should i use sinus rinse?

Accepted Answer

Up to you: Some of my patients have used a saline sinus rinse daily for years.  Make sure your bottle or netti pot are clean, don't forget to use salt, and use it when it feels good to do so.  It can help keep your nose open, wash out pollen, pus, and dirt. If itwas recommended by your ENT doctor, get their opinion.  Depending on reason for use, will have an opinion.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Question 7

Question 8

Use decongestant: Pseudoephedrine can be purchased otc, and you could also do nasal irrigation with saline nasal rinses thru a neti-pot.  You eat horseradish, and if it is strong enough it may cause sinus flow.  If you want a really strong horseradish use japanese wasabe.
