I have been diagnosed with siunitis. The doctor is thinking it might be due to allegies. Has anyone one got any ideas for sinus relief. It would be good to have sort of relief for a while until they find out what is causing it.

Chronic sinusitis.. been there done that.
First, allergy testing and allergy shots if necessary.
Then the allergy no surgical treatments..
antihistamines - zyrtec my preferred
nasal steriodal spray - nasonex my preferred
saline nasal rinses (before applying nasonex) - simply saline my preferred
decongestant - psuedephedrine.. Not the PSE form.
If this doesn't get it you need to look to an ENT for three types of surgery.
bilateral turboplasty - sinus membrane reduction - May 2004
full endoscopic sinus restructure and window insertion - October 2006
tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy - October 2006
Well that is my treatment summary. Now? No more chronic sinusitis.. and I can breathe through my nose once more.
Sincerely,
MG
