My 21 year son has chronic sinus issues, I think, due to many high school sports injuries. Help!
His ENT has recommended a "nose job" but our insurance will not cover it. Do you know of any holostic, nutritional or homeopathic solutions to keep this under control? When he gets a headache, it shuts him down and normally goes into a migraine.

Knows nothing about holystic treatment, but when I think about it, won't it be better to treat it definitely (more or less, I don't really know the situation) than postponing it with intermediate treatment? Have your tried to consult your docotr about that?

I just hate the thought of surgery. I was hoping to find ways to keep his sinuses clear and reduce the chances of infection. Dagmar points out that this may be unrealistic and he has made a very good point. Maybe we should bite the bullet. Any further thoughts?

Hot wet washcloth over the nose and under the eyes can help reduce the pain. I know it sounds to easy but it really works!

One of the best, most inexpensive, ways to prevent, treat, and generally care for any sinus related problem is with a saline (salt water) sinus rinse. The one I use is called "Neil Med" and can be purchased at Walgreen's for about $15. It has a plastic bottle with pre-measured, pre-packaged salt that is should be mixed with cooled off sterilized (boiled) water. If I get an infection, using 2 or 3 packets to concentrate the solution gives the lavage a bacteriostatic (stuns/partially kills bacteria), not bacteriocidal (kills bacteria) quality. I do not own Neil Med although I wish I did!! The lavage method also washes out any dust, old mucous, you name it. It should be used prior to the use of any nasal steroid like Flonase if treating allergic rhinitis. Good luck!!
