Hi ,
I have been suffering from Sinusitis and excess mucus all my life, Finally an ENT took a culture of the mucus in my sinuses and the lab results showed I have Serratia marcescens which is a bacteria that is very difficult to get rid of... I then went to a Infectious disease doctor and he prescribed Tobramicyne (spray form) which I took for 10 days as prescribed.... for about a month or 2 I had 75% less headaches and sinus issues, but then it returned back to where it was.....
The ENT thinks I should not do any more antibiotics because it can kill the good bacteria and do more damage.... So was wondering if anyone knows of any alternative / natural remedies?
I just ordered an infrared light. I was told this can help with drying up the mucus and reduce headaches(not a permanent solution but suppose to help manage the symptoms) .... any other suggestions?
