Sinuses and asthma

Hi all

Since July I have been really suffering with constant coughing, mucuous and bad sinuses!

I've had anti biotics, steroids and both inhalers and taking anti histamine to no avail!

Any tips or similar experiences?

I’d recommend trying NeilMed sinus rinse as a chemical-free method of helping clear your sinuses.

There are several different methods offered by the company; I’ve ended up with their Nasa Mist saline spray which I use in the morning as a maintenance rinse.

There may be other similar products available, but I haven’t tried anything else.

The ENT surgeons at our local hospital recommend these to patients who have had nose and sinus surgery as a reference!

I also use Avamys once daily to keep my sinuses clear. Best talk to your GP about what they might recommend.

One more thing - I take Montelukast which has helped me no end with stopping mucus, the sinus gunk and coughing - read up on it and again talk to your GP as to whether it might be suitable for you 😃

Hi, I have had similar issues and I saw the ent consultant this week. She diagnosed rhinitis for me and gave me a stronger nasal spray. She also recommended the nasal rinse from the chemist. This is the first morning I can breathe up my nose and my husband said my breathing in my sleep was much better. It has taken me over a year to get to this point 😔

Does it make you cough too from the post nasal drip?
