Re: Sinus Infection Issues
Sinus infections are very difficult to get rid of so you might have to be on antibiotics for several months. I've had them in the past when I was teaching full time, it was one infection after another and took months to clear. Doxycycline is an excellent antibiotic for sinus infections. A friend of mine ended up having an op as hers was becoming constant. That remedied her situation but hopefully you won't need that. Good to have the X-rays but they might not show much. Good luck with it all.
Re: Sinus Infection Issues
Hey Wisemonkey thanks for the reply. Glad to know that I’m not the only one going through this as I thought I must be as it’s lasting so long. I was given Doxycycline for 7 days and it got rid of the pain. But I’ve still got congestion I’m on another set of antibiotics now. But the Dr keeps pushing for me to use Dimister I’m a bit anxious as from using the last steroid spray I was getting nosebleeds. But yes I’m glad I got the X-ray some small peace of mind. Just feel so alone in this right now like no one understands how it makes you feel being I’ll well congested and bunged up for weeks. How did yours eventually clear? 😊
Re: Sinus Infection Issues
Anyone been through sinus infections/issues lasting 5 weeks plus would love some advice health anxiety really getting the better of me. Stressed out and nose keeps bleeding too. Feel so down and like I can’t carry on and feel like a bad Mum for not being well for 5 weeks now. Just wanna get better so I can do things again with kids. This issue has really made me anxious and paranoid I’m so scared it won’t go away...
Re: Sinus Infection Issues
I had it for months as part of my ongoing illness since March. I think mine was due to silent reflux. Just make sure that if you take any antibiotics that you also take a good probiotic.

So X-ray showed the infection, cut a long story short... my HA got the better of me and I thought I would die from the infection worked myself up and ended up at A&E, lucky they had an ENT department and the ENT Dr looked into my Nose with a Tiny cam. Turns out the lining in the nose is so inflamed mucus is stuck. Given me Dymister and stay on antibiotics for two weeks then will review he said it could take months and end result could be surgery to have it drained. I didn’t realise how long sinusitis was being it’s the first time I e ever had it. Worried on how to cope with this alk now
