I have shared on here before that J suffers from sinus issues. We have had many a consult with the ped, the allergist and the ENT. Everyone said something different. At the same time. The last suggestion from the ENT? A psychologist. WTH?

What has finally shown some promising results? Flonase. Every night. My stepsister is a doctor. I was lamenting to her all J's sypmtoms, what we have tried before and where the ENT wanted us to go next. She thought it all as crazy as I did. She immediately asked, knowing J's history (tonsils and adnoids out, constant sinus infections) why wasn't a nasal steriod ever RX'd. Like I knew? J has been on Flonase for nearly a month. AND, in that time, he has had one sinus infection and one ear/conjunctivitis infection. (I am telling you...he has issues). Even WITH those two infections, he shows improvement. Even with.

The problem for which he was being treated- constant throat clearing....and I mean CONSTANT, has been nearly resolved with Flonase. Will he still be suspectible to chronic sinusitis? Yup. BUT, we can finally treat the symptoms.

Sometimes, I am not sure the medical community really has all the answers.
