Mine are horrible. I get at least two sinus infections a year. My doctor has to put me on a ridiculous dose of antibiotics. I've tried over the counter stuff and it helps...but I still get infections. Anyone have tips to help with them?

I used to get at least a couple of sinus infections a year, until my doctor put me on prescription seasonal allergy medicine year round. I was basically allergic to the place where I lived (the town/region, not my apartment). Oddly enough, that was the case with a lot of people who lived there, so my doctor knew how to treat it.
Since I moved, I've had much less trouble with my sinuses, and have been able to discontinue my prescriptions. I will occasionally wake up a little congested in the morning, but not seriously badly.
Though it depends on your specific allergies, either of those options might help. But moving isn't always an option, so I'd talk to your doctor about going on regular prescription allergy medicine to keep your sinuses "dried up."

I had the same thing happen. I lived in California...next to no allergies..just off and on...moved to Utah..and they have gone crazy. I will talk to my doctor about something that will clear it up. I used to use flonase...maybe I'll try that again. Happy Friday!
