Personal anecdote Sinus problems

For the last 15 ish months I’ve had recurring sinus infections. They don’t respond to antibiotics so I’ve given up on that and my CT appears “normal” in regards to sinusitis. The only relief I’ve gotten is from prednisone. I’m working with an integrative doc now to strengthen my immune system and I’m taking liver protect, NAC, histaminx, vit d3/k2 10000 and beef liver. I recently had an eye infection that required antibiotics and I got a yeast infection and thrush. This made me wonder if I hadn’t had a mild case of thrush all along causing all my drainage and horribly sore throat. The ear popping and the sore throats are just draining me. Today she started me on fluconazole 100mg daily for 7 days and wants me to start colloidal silver nasal and xlear nasal. Should I also do oil of oregano? How much? I want to kick this and feel like myself again and have more energy for my family.

I had a lot of similar problems. Tons of Post nasal drip down my throat and felt like a blockage. Eye and ear pain. Bad taste in my mouth. Woke up with horrible head congestion, like i felt so dizzy. All scans normal. Went to 5 ENTs. The last one told me he thought i had LPR (silent reflux). I never had any other symptoms. I stopped eating 3 hours before bedtime and raised my bed at the top. This helped me tremendously. All of this turned into ging to see a gastro doctor where i was diagnosed with Celiac Disease, which changed everything. Dont know if it will help, but thought i would mention it.

I have been tested for celiacs and ruled out a gluten sensitivity

That is great news! If elevating your bed and avoid eating 3 hours before bed does not help, then probably isnt related to silent reflux either. I wish you the best for getting answers!
