I saw my allergist today and we talked about this sinus thing. He isn't in the office full-time any more (a little older than I am, it's time for him to retire) but tries to be in during allergy season and that is right now. I'm to continue to take the anti-inflamatories and to add a generic antibiotic (horse pills) every twelve hours with food for three weeks. I haven't had to take antibios for years and had forgotten how much you have to schedule your life around them.
A more frightening part of our discussion was the talk about asthma inhalers. I rarely have to use my Advair inhaler these days, but he is advising his patients not to use them any more. These popular and very well advertised drugs have been found to cause asthma to worsen, not to improve. It makes one wonder what the FDA is doing with its time.
