Suggest Treatment For Extreme Sinus Issues

For the last two years I have been suffering from extreme sinus issues. My eyes, inner ears and gums are constantly itchy. It has got so bad that I keep a supply of earbuds on hand to relieve the itching in my ears( up to 5 times daily) and am forever gnawing at my gums and tongue to provided short term relief. This starts from the moment I wake up in the morning. I have been tested for basic allergies (negative) and take a prescription antihistimine daily. Bedding is hypoallergenic, as is washing powder and make-up, but nothing seems to alieviate my symptoms. Please help.
Many thanks

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain although you are tested negative for allergies but the symptoms of itching in ears, eyes, gums and tongue are appearing typically like Allergic reaction..
In case if sinus infection is the diagnosis it mostly represents with pain and congestion..
I would suggest you to consult an Allergist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like Allergic tests along with PNS VIEW X RAY or MRI scan can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly..
You can be advised to take a course of antibiotics, anti allergics, steroids,decongestnats and steam inhalations, saline nasal irrigations and use a humidifier in your room..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
