Sinus Allergy? Anyone?

[Lew_Alcindor]

Sino may chronic sinus allergy dito?

I developed an allergy around 8 years ago when I was in my former office. When we were about to transfer to another building, old documents have to disposed. That was the start - and unfortunately the end is not near hehehe.

I lived in Japan for two years and survived with minimal allergy because wearing mask is very accepted there.
But here, even though I dont mind receiving weird looks, I cannot consistently wear mask. And living near a forested area, complicated the matter.

I regularly have nasal wash (using Flo-sinus) and take anti-histamine.

Any suggested remedy? Someone mentioned essential oils but the starter kit if very expensive (like US$300).

I have it too, runs in the family. I am allergic to grass pollen w/c is hard for me as my job requires me to be outdoors a lot. Studying in Japan for a few years was a respite for me as I never suffred. But the moment I stepped out of NAIA and it starts again. just take anti-histamines every now and then.

same here, runny nose all day everyday...

I won't survive without Nasonex (or Avamys), been using it everyday for more than 15 years.

Good thing it's covered by my office insurance, I get a new bottle every 3 weeks

May times na twice a day... (Kung wala pa din on the 2nd spray, Telfast tablet na).

Malaki bottle ng Avamys kaya ng 1 month, pero kapag Nasonex ako, halos maubos sya after 3 weeks...

Especially this month (Ghost Month) ang daming nag-susunog sa paligid...

Nagka ganyan din ako dati kaya nagpa checkup ako ENT...

Binigyan lang ako spray either Humer or Sterimar.

Pwede sya gamitin as maintenance every month or when it the itching attacks kasi panglinis lang naman daw ng nasal passage.

Ang natural remedy suggested nila is go to the beach kasi yung mga yun is bottled saline solution

consult an allergy expert (an allergologist), po, for possible de-sensitization.

My dad and I have been under this for years. Siya over 2 decades na, ako naman since grade school.

Malaki improvement tbh, nabawasan allergic reaction. Dati araw araw naka antihistamine yata ako, di pwede hindi masisipon, ngayon kapag sobrang dusty lang talaga at yung amoy. Sa akin pollen and cockroach mixture yata ang ini-inject every month.

Popular nasal decongestant doesn't actually relieve congestion, FDA advisers say | Yahoo! Finance

Advisers to the Food and Drug Administration voted unanimously on Tuesday against the effectiveness of the key drug found in popular versions of Sudafed, Dayquil and other medications stocked on store shelves.

“Modern studies, when well conducted, are not showing any improvement in congestion with phenylephrine,” said Dr. Mark Dykewicz, an allergy specialist at the Saint Louis University School of Medicine.

The FDA assembled its outside advisers to take another look at phenylephrine, which became the main drug in over-the-counter decongestants when medicines with an older ingredient — pseudoephedrine — were moved behind pharmacy counters.

[Monseratto]

The panel’s vote followed its review on Monday and Tuesday of several existing studies, with the advisers largely concluding that the research settled the question that the ingredient was useless and no better than a placebo.

There are two main oral decongestants in products on store shelves — phenylephrine and pseudoephedrine.

Phenylephrine, doesn’t work to relieve nasal congestion when taken orally, it is not dangerous, and the products do contain other ingredients that will work to ease cold symptoms.

The decongestant is in at least 250 products that were worth nearly $1.8 billion in sales last year, according to an agency presentation. Among the products: Sudafed Sinus Congestion, Tylenol Cold & Flu Severe, NyQuil Severe Cold & Flu, Theraflu Severe Cold Relief, Mucinex Sinus Max and others.

What’s more: It could possibly renew widespread use of an alternative, pseudoephedrine, whose sales are restricted — placed behind store counters or in locked cabinets because it was often used in illicit meth labs.

As a result, buying pseudoephedrine products can be a clunky, time-consuming process. Even though they don’t require a prescription, they are kept out of customers’ reach, the number of tablets that can be purchased at one time is capped, and consumers must be 18 or over and show identification.

There are also side effects associated with pseudoephedrine, which can raise blood pressure, and cause jitters and wakefulness, Dr. Hendeles said.

"... doesn't show an improvement against phenylephrene...", does not necessarily mean it don't work.
it might be interpreted, rightly, as "just as good as..."
sometimes, the summarizer may be erroneous, intentionally or otherwise, in his so-called interpretation.

Not sure if sinus allergy yung condition ko.
But hindi naman always runny nose.
May clogged parati at the back of my nose, parang ma trigger if dusty ang paligid.

Parang wala daw gamot para sa condition na to.
Until I bought this one to declogged my nose (Nose Cleaner Nasal Irrigator)

So far, effective naman, distilled water always gamit ko.
Then the salt solution na mabili rin sa lazada/shopee.
Di ko lang alam if may expiry tong bottle na to?
Also, if maubusan, nag try ako pure salt i mix ng distilled water.
Not sure if this is a good idea.
Salt sa pagkakaalam ko is di madadapuan ng bacteria (tama ba?)
I am not using idodized salt, hindi ako kampante gamitin siya to mix with distilled water.
Reason daw why need salt solution is to kill bacteria or fungi ba yan na nagcause ng slimy liquid inside the nose.

consult an allergologist or an ENT.
they might have something to offer.

I use Flo sinus once every 2 days. I'm allergic to all kinds of smoke. (Barbeques, cigarettes, vehicle exhaust, burning leaves.)

Ako dito lang sa amin nagkaka-allergy (Los Banos). Pag sa Metro Manila, nawawala. So my guess is I am not allergic to polluted air.

I have one in our bedroom. Pero pag labas ng bahay, wala nang magagawa ang air purifier.

My 10yr old sometimes is on Avamys. Nag Nasonex din siya. I once tried Avamys pero wala ako na-experience ng benefit.

Consider also molds, I can't smell them, but i can sense them, my eyes get really itchy, I spray lysol mold killer in our house regularly, big help for me.

Pati when I travel to new places, I take antihistamine as a preventive na, mahirap humarap sa tao with a runny nose, it also ruins your vacation, if not work.

Share ko lang, I noticed that there seems to be an allergen at the All Day and All Home Complex at Sta. Rosa. Everytime, I go there, I get all sneezy and itchy. Pinakamalala dun sa supermarket nila, I was red all over when I exited the mall.

Yup molds yung pinakamahirap hanapin.

consult an allergy expert (an allergologist), po, for possible de-sensitization.

Yan ang next step ko hehehe. Nagagalit na nga si misis kasi puro daw ako plano.

Does your air purifier have an ionizer? That should get rid of the molds. Avamys doesn't work for me either.

Early mornings, meron ako slight allergy. But as the day progresses, nawawala ito. I would notice that after I have my morning coffee fix.

[jaypee10]

minsan may time ako sa gabi ng bahing ng bahing..diko pinansin hanggang sa dumadalas na. mga 10 times ako bahing ng bahing sunod sunod kaya nahirapan ako.pero minsan kasi hindi naman ganun kadalas minsan isang beses lang mangyari sa isang buwan ung ganun.

hanggang sa pag bahing ko may naamoy na akong masamang amoy..kaya napilitan na akong magpa konsulta sa doctor at ayun malala na pala ung sinus .buti at naagapan kaagad.at sabi ng doctor papunta na daw sa cancer un sa akin kaya sobrang takot ko..
