I have asthma along with my husband, daughter, son, brother and mother. My husband, daughter and myself are worse, fortunately my other family members don't take regular medication.
Since mid October I have had a sinus infection which is being very persistent, this has led to 3 chest infections. Antibiotics have helped to clear up the chest infections but the sinus infection just seems to ease off the last lot of antibiotics ended Monday (number 4) and this time the sinus infection didn't ease off and now the chest infection is back again. I do work in health care and I know that makes it easier for me to pick these things up, but I'm at my whits end and it's getting me down. Any advice anyone can give please.
