Antibiotics for Sinus Infections

Astelin has unbelievable amounts of headache associated with it. Remember, Astelin is not an intranasal steroid like Nasacort, Flonase, Nasonex and Rhinocort. It's an anti-histamine.
I personally think it's a worthless drug. If you need an anti-histamine, take on orally. No need for an anti-histamine up your nose!!!! Especially with such high headache rates!!!!!!!!
Nasonex is a weak INS, so ask your doc about something more powerful because clearly you're not getting adequate relief.

I take Chlortrimaton (can't take Claritin), and Singulair, but I need an extra something for my nose during allergy season (especially the fall), and the Nasonex usually does it. Just sometimes...They crop up. IF I take it during a sinus infection, it helps too, but I don't know why.
I think it started with the smoke from the wildfires,(but was spraying my nose then) and then decided to flare up good about 3 weeks ago, after vacation (probably not enough sleep and stopping the Nasonex). I used to have them chronically, so one every 3 months or less I can live with <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> , as long as they are clearing up with the antibiotics like they have been. I just don't want the Cipro to quit working, too, because I have overused it.
Usually, I don't need the Nasonex by summertime, but we have a bad drought, and everything has been out of whack. I think maybe all the pollen that is supposed to be gone is still lingering for lack of rain (we are over 20" behind so far this year). We had a horrendous pollen season (worst one in many, many years). *sigh*

Although it is a nasal steroid and won't wipe out an infection, Vancenase has worked well for me. It's a prescription nasal spray. When I've been on it it has opened me up well enough that I can get a good saline flush going through my sinuses. It doesn't dry me out too much either (like something with alcohol would) so I don't get nosebleeds with it.
Here's an "off label" use of cipro that has worked according to some other CFers I confab with <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> Crush the cipro into a fine powder and snort a line of it. (I can't believe I'm even suggesting that, but heck, if you've already been prescribed the drug you might as well use it in a way that actually benefits your body. )
