Question by Me1984: Sinus infection and allergy problems will never go away, please help?
I have had sinus infection problems and allergy problems for the past two years, and nothing can seem to stop them from coming back and my head is never fully cleared. My ears have been popping for that long too. I’ve been on antibiotics from time to time throughout the infections, but they don’t help. I’ve used Neil med sinus relief bottle, which clears it up some, but doesn’t fully stop. I talked to a pharmacist recently and I am taking Ceteri-D, which helps some, but doesn’t stop the infection. My head has been stuffed up for that long along with the ears popping, and I’ve had trouble hearing because of it. The doctors have helped the best they could, but the pharmacist says I might need to see an allergy specialist. What can the allergy specialist do to fully stop my infection, so my ears will not pop, and I can have a clear head forever? I’ve been to an ears, nose, and throat doctor too because I’ve had ear wax build up problems, but I don’t think that’s why my ears have been popping. Any advice on treatment methods for this continuous infection will be helpful, or what procedures can an allergy specialist do? Thanks in advance.
I remember the infection started a couple years back right before new years. I take medicine to relieve the symptoms, but nothing stops the infection fully. I just don’t want to be on medications for the rest of my life because I have lost some musical ability being stuffy like this.
Best answer:
Answer by Richard Ask your doctor about a rare neurological disorder called Hemicrania Continua. Look it up online yourself too to see if it seems to fit.
I had sinus infections constantly for years, and even had 2 sinus surgeries to no avail. Then I developed migraines on top of the constant sinus infections and allergy symptoms. Basically I had a lot of separate yet somehow seemingly connected health problems.
Last year I was finally diagnosed with Hemicrania Continua (in my case, an even more rare dual-sided version), and the diagnosis is spot on for me. All those constant sinus infections and allergy symptoms were suddenly explained to be neurological in nature, which explained why all previous treatments didn’t work. There’s no test to see if you have Hemicrania Continua, just an experienced doctor examining your personal medical history, to see if your symptoms match.
On another note, I also agree going to an allergy specialist, separately, can help too. They can do a very simple allergy test to help determine what allergies you might have. They just put a drop of each allergen on your skin somewhere, usually your forearms or your back, and then poke the skin each drop sits on. Doesn’t hurt at all – the worst it does is cause mild itchiness (but don’t scratch!). You wait something like 20 minutes and if you’re allergic to one of the allergens they used, you will have a small red bump where they pricked you for that one thing. They normally test for a ton of different things at once, so having 20 or more at once is normal. All in all it’s a very simple and easy to go through test done in the doctor’s normal office. So that’s a good way to test if you really have allergies or not, and helps rule things out.
I have never been diagnosed with allergies, but I have had a bad head cold for the last week and I thought I had a sinus infection. The doc said no, you have allergies. She prescribed alegra and nasonex. Opinions on those meds? Any other remedies? Thanks!
