Recurrent Sinus Infection, Burning Sensation While Smoking. Have The Habit Of Smoking, On And Off Bronchitis. Reason For Symptoms?
I am 27, 154 lb female. I have been smoking for 13+ years with no real problems aside from brochitis every now and then. For the past year I have been battling a recurrent sinus infection. I recently put two and two together and realized that smoking was causing this sinus infection. Now when I smoke it burns my throat, and makes my nasal passages burn. It's like as soon as I am done smoking the sinus infection comes back. I want to quit, but I have relapsed a time or two. What is causing these symptoms?

Hello,
Thanks for writing to us,
Yes all you trouble is due to so long years of smoking ,which lead to destruction of mucosa of your respiratory tract.
you need to stop smoking immediately . If you are dependant you need to undergo training at rehabilitation and de addiction centre.
Do some creative work so that you will get away from smoking.
As you sinusitis is increasing you may need antiallergen and decongestant and if needed antibiotic
I hope that I have answered your query. Let me know if I can help you further. Take care.
