Re: anyone had their sinuses drained?

[Guest guest]

Hi, Lin here....

my son had his sinus taped when he was about 2 years old.

they was very infected. they had to go in up under neath the nose with needles

and drain the sinus that way.

it worked.....he also at the same time had his tonsils and adnoids takin out

too...

at the time he had very bad asthma attack during this so he had to go to the

icu unit over night.... to be watched.... he was there for 2 days. then moved

to regular room.

i hope that helped ya somewhat...

have a asthma free day

pockets of infected gunk that can't go anywhere. (Yes, I'm miserable.)

Anyway, I go for a CT scan tomorrow and he said I may have to have

them drained.

Has anyone had such a procedure? If so, please email me about it.

YIKES!

I'm starting to moan, groan, cry, snivel, say ouch, and assume the

fetal position just thinking about this. I have decided I will never

need this procedure, LOL

Good luck

OUCH!

with all the sinus stuff i've had done,i never had them drained. when mine

were that swollen (to the point nothing could enter/exit, like yours are) we did

the sinuneb, so i nebbed steroids up my nose.

i hope they find something (and quickly) that gives you some relief!

feel better

Hi Addy,

I'm sorry that your sinuses are so clogged. That's absolutely awful.

I've been there too many times. Do you think that ragweed season

finally caught up with you? I was SO hoping that Xolair would take

care of our allergic sinus issues too!

You may want to check out the Help Sinuses group. I'm sure that

some of the members there have had their sinuses drained, so they may

be able to offer some information.

You might also want to try posting some specific questions to the ENT

group. The forum is owned and moderated by Dr. Murray Grossan,

and he's very good about answering questions quickly. Of course, he

also uses the forum to sell his sinus products, but it doesn't sound

like they'll do much good for you right now.

Best of luck to you! You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi Pyle:

Yes, I have had my sinuses drained atleast a thousand times. I've been having

sinus problems since I was eleven, I'm now 64. It's not a problem and it does

help, also, of course, prednisone helps, but I would advice you to have them

drained, it will help.
