allergic sinusitis

Not sure if this will help you, but years ago I had cancer in the sinus area and they ripped them all out of the nasal cavities etc.

I do get bouts of bad sinus where my teeth and head neck really ache.

What I've found works is a cavity wash you can get from the big drug stores. You mix the satchel powder and water in the supplied bottle and rinse out the cavities. All explained in the pack. Takes a few days to work. I find this better than Rinocort, etc. and drugs recommended by specialists. But that is only me.

I just went to a doctor for the same problem 4 days ago. I used the ENT clinic at Sukhumvit Hospital next to BTS Ekamai BTS and across the road from the Ekamai bus station. I had it real bad and was miserable . Doctors speak English and you can walk in as no appointment needed. Cost me about 2500 baht and walked out with two weeks of nasal rinse with applicator, nasal spray, plus other medicine. After four days I feel great and almost back to normal.

In Thailand I have bad sinusitis because of the air pollution in Bangkok. My solution was to start using a Netipot where you rinse water with special salt added through your nostrils twice a day. Also I wear a carbon mask on the street.

If you are living in Pattaya then likely it is something like hayfever.  But your first step should be an allergy test, which is cheap and painless.  This will identify what is causing the problem.  If you prove not to be allergic to the standard rack, then the cause is non specific- traffic pollution or heat, or a mixture of everything non natural.

 

Any hospital can help because this is simple stuff, and in truth not a lot can be done medicine wise imo.  The best advice I got was on this thread from one of the moderators who said that non-drug intervention is best if possible.

 

I know all too well what you mean when you say acute sinusitis, but imagine that you could also be talking about chronically inflamed nasal passages, which are not infected, but I confirm the pain is at best distracting and can be near excruciating.

 

Imo medicines are of little value in curing the condition.  There are plenty of ways to decongest which is a major issue. You can stand in a shower with your chin tucked towards your chest and the water running down your neck, do a steam tent, and use the occasional burst of nasolin for instance.  Beconase for a month would open your nasal passages.

 

But in the end it is about avoiding or limiting whatever is causing the problem; it can just be a matter of staying indoors more and getting an extra hour of kip.
