Suggest Treatment For Chronic Sinusitis
I am a wtc rescue worker . I was diagnosed after 911 with chronic sinusitis. I have 3 attacks yearly with ear fullness, ear ringing, sinus pain, scratchy sore throat..this time I had a 102.6* temp and took me 9 hrs to get it down with cold compresses. Excessive seems to bring on the condition prematurely. I have had surgery removing large sinus polups and had the balloon thing this past winter to open the drainage..no help

Hi,
The elevated temperature suggests that there may be an infection present that may require the use of antibiotics, with a history of chronic infection, a prolonged course may be needed.
You may need to be maintained on a course of steroid nasal sprays and possibly montelukast to dampen your allergy response.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Michelle Gibson James, General & Family Physician
