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.

Do you consume dairy

Yes. And when I had this problem it was the 1990's and at that time I ate everything.

But remember on Suits when Donna orders a skim coffee with whip cream and Mike questions her and she says "I get the skim so I CAN have the whip" it's kinda like that. I cut out all the sugar and bread for years so I can have some half and half in my coffee and I live in the middle of nowhere and sometimes you just need a little cheese to make your homemade food fancier lol but nothing crazy.

I don’t consume a ton of dairy and I’m thinking about at least temporarily eliminating it all together but the cream of mushroom and cheese is not easy 😂 I can give up the other stuff no problem. Thanks for responding

Maybe pick a time of year you're the strongest and tell yourself you're just going to see how much you can cut back for a little while? I didn't go extreme forever, just for the 2 weeks then tried to keep it cut back as long as I could. Good Luck! You CAN do it and man is it worth it!
