Regarding sinus issues

If you go to Amy's blog, she does have a listing of antihistamines that are the best for us to take. Unfortunately for me <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> , only Chlortimaton works for me, and not taking it is terrible!
The one thing that has made the biggest difference for me with my sinus infections is taking Singulair- I went from having chronic sinus infections for years to only getting them periodically now, like after a cold. I also do Nasonex, and so does my (non cf) daughter after a cold, as she stays stuffed up for a while afterwards.

But now she is working on a sinus infection; called the CF doc yesterday assuming he would call in an antibiotic. Went to the pharmacy and instead he had prescribed Rynatan Pediatric Chew Tabs (I had never heard of it before) which is a combo of chlorpheniramine (antihistamine) and phenylephrine (decongestant). I thought I read somewhere (not just CF'ers, but in general) that it was stupid to take the two combined. And I also thought I read that children weren't supposed to be getting cold medicines anymore. <img src="">
Oh, well. Good old-fashioned saline drops and some other homeopathic type things are sounding better and better.</end quote></div>
Both of those were in the old (non PE) version of Actifed, if I remember correctly (I can see if I can find it, but I'm pretty sure).
It worked like a charm, but also dried my lungs and nose out to no end! I had to switch to just the chlorpheniramine (Chlortimaton 12 hr.) and that I can keep up with (HS, drinking lots of water). I only take a Sudafed or Sudafed PE if my nose is really bad, and then about once or twice a week, no more.
It's also the cold medicines with cough supressants in them for children under 2 that were taken off shelves and discontinued <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> .
