Might I have a deviated septum or a nasal polyp?
Posted by: Alan in Sinus Relief, tags: Deviated, Might, Nasal, polyp, SeptumI am constantly have issues with a post nasal drip cough and sinus headaches. Headaches get worse after exercise and being outdoors for long periods of time. My dr has prescribed Zithromax for my cough, and I have used nasal sprays for the sinus pressure but the results are short term relief at best.
Im wondering if its time to see a specialist of if theres any other treatments I can try.

Try sudafed. nasal spray have been useless for me. I have chronic sinusitis too, i get post nasal drip, mind blowing headaches and a flu is the usual for me.
once i got the acute phase, it was really bad! was in bed for a week with spiky fever that wouldnt go down with meds…untill i realized the machinery headache i had and realized it could be sinusitis. Got a PNS xray which confirmed and got started on my sinus meds. Augmentin etc. but now i maintain it with sudafed, not continuously, only when i get a bad headache and a flu. Lempsip max is always in my cupboard, i prefer the lemon flavor.
Dont swim deep if u swim, that means dont dive.
Cover ur head with a towel over a hot water bowl with mint or nothing at all.
Avoid the cold dry weather, remember to layer up when u go out!
If all doesnt work, see ur doctor!
