Suggest Treatment For Recurrent Sinus Infection Despite Taking Suprax

My wife has been battling sinus infections over several years now. She has had MSAR and now has Pseudamonas which goes away and then returns. The doctor is running out of ideas and medicine. He is a specialist. Last year at this time she took some intravenus drug that seemed to get rif ofit . a month later it returned. She went on Leviquin. It disappeared only to return. Now she is on Suprax and it doesnt seem to be working. Not sure where to go from here.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your wife is suffering from persistent recurrent sinus infections despite medications. Possible causes for this may be her weak immune constituency, underlying immunodeficiency, history of nasal allergies and anatomical defects in the nasal region. Stay away from cold beverages and liquids. use water vaporizer as many times as possible. gargle salt water daily 3 times. avoid any further irritants to nasal passages. You need to consult an ENT for endoscopy to further evaluate the extent of anatomical defects as well as blood tests to eliminate former possibilities.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
