Suggest Treatment For Sinus Infection
I quit smoking last year and within a month had a terrible sinus infection. Since I like breathing, I resorted to nose spray, ever though I know it s harmful. I used it for about 6 months before finally laying it down. I have gradually started losing my taste for foods I have always loved and I can no longer smell most things. Should I be worried? Should I see an ear, nose and throat doctor? Or is this something I have to learn to live with. Several times a day I have to blow my nose. One side or the other (never both at the same time), have clear mucous come out and then I m fine for several hours. Help!?

You should do allergy tests.
You can take antihistamines such benadryl or citerizine for running nose.
Hope I have answered the question.
