UglyNerdMan: Hey yall. i know alot of us out there use alot of pills and sprays and whatnot some of us still dont get relief. About me i had some issues that other doctors strung me around for years on. I finally saw a new doctor. who had his own practice n well it seemed he wasnt owned by some pharmaceutical corp. Anywho i got real relief. i wanna explain some things for people out there who have frequent problems.

I wanted to write this because i want help people. some people really dont know whats available to them out there and ive come across many.
I hope that even if one person gets some help or can use my info to help another person than it was all worth typing out.

Deviated septum: its when the middle of the nose is bent, causes problems and abnormal growth. Most doctors. will say ur fine because you can breathe normally and ur not suffering seriously but thats just the insurance guidelines aka they wanna pay. the real deal is should be corrected and if you cant get a ok then go for rhinoplasty. yes its nose job but your airways can be reconstructed.

Turbinates/ one side feels kinda closed u know that you got a cold feeling normally. Let me explain that theres this lil ball thing in the middle of ur nose. it controls how the nose holes open n close.
Most people need a Turbinate reduction but thats honestly for a specialist to really see. Try to find a private practice honestly.


Now if you read the above im gonna go onto what allergies can do. Allergies can cause inflammation, Extended inflammation makes the tissue swell and it can overtime be permanently enlarged because of extended inflammation., this does get tricky, ill show you an example. u have inflammation because of allergys. u go to the doctors office the clean cold sterile inviroment makes ur allergys settle down and ur inflammination settles down and the doctor is a noob and thinks its just nothing. Overtime this causes problems. usually u need a antihistamine but after along time they dont work. Some people get lucky.


K wrapping up. i wanna tell people with sinus problems and pollen allergys. that alot of sprays cannot reach inflamed areas and also they can reach ur nasopharynx its this place in the back of ur nose and mouth. sometimes whole curtains of mucus can be there and stuff is stuck in it and embedded in it. and in turn this makes it so that stuff never leaves. this also happens to the sinuses. there are only a few sprays on the market which can get past this thick curtain of mucus and sprays really arent that effective. also inflammation interferes with medication reaching problem spots. How do you remove that mucus? well some of you have seen netipots sinus rinse bottles. they honestly are the best method for removing mucus from those areas.

You honestly should try some sinus rinses. but if you dont want to buy one of those use a teaspoon of sea salt, in a squirt bottle in one nostril, always keep mouth open and push warm water(as warm as you can tolerate) in one nostril with ur head tilted because water and mucus is gonna come out of the other end. also the mucus curtains in the back of your nose and in some of your sinuses will fall to your throat, spit em out or swallow... whatever its out of your face now. you might feel sick of you realize you are awallowing yellow caked up mucus. always keep your mouth open and breathe normally when you flushing with the water and when you are blowing ur nose. This is to prevent pressure building on your ears/making sure the water goes to the right places. and is very very important. anywho alot of you who have allergies will see blood clots along with mucus. This is your immune system going berserk in your face. this what allergies are. Out of all Honesty i recommend using a sinus rinse. The most popular brand tho even if its unknown is Neimed because it is carried by CVS. which are everywhere in the USA Canada and even Europe.

UglyNerdMan: So to wrap it up alot of people dont use Sinus rinses who have allergys and they should and for people who have long term problems feeling like they have a cold, you should consider a surgical route and if you cant find doctors who are going to help you go that route then find a cosmetic surgeon. It really pains me to have to comprehend how alot of doctors are just desk/prescription giving junkies. Make sure ur doctor preforms surgerys also. if not find yourself a cosmetic surgeron who also specializes in improving breathing. Mostly all cosmetic surgergeons who do Rhinoplasty the nose do. I hope this helps someone and Id like to see other advice from people.


Also remember hot showers soften up mucus which might trap in pollen.

If you cannot blow your nose or get headaches when you do you honestly should consider a surgical route. Sprays and drugs wont help you.
