I have constant nose and throat mucus and it won’t go away. Doctors gave no medicine said just live with it. Can diet cure it?

corticosteroids, no it's not the traditional ''steroid'' for muscle.
> Corticosteroids, often known as steroids, are an anti-inflammatory medicine prescribed for a wide range of conditions.
Is there a way to just have zero inflammation by not eating sugar or something?
Raw milk
Raw meat + fruit diet aka the sv3rige diet
Oregano oil also helps my congestion
>Raw milk
Interesting, my family kept telling me to avoid dairy by saying it makes mucus worse. I’ll order oregano oil
Yeah they tested my blood for that but it just said I was allergic to cats (I don’t have a cat). There were some mild allergies to certain plants but not enough to cause all of this
It makes it worse because it helps the body get rid of stuff it doesn't like.
here's what I use

Nice that’s the one I ordered
I’m sure some of the filter stuff is scammy but other is real science and makes the air better. The most extreme one are those ozone machines that kill everything in the air. I think they have to run it when no people are inside though
Nice. also if you have tea tree oil you can take some of that shove it up your nostrils. I usually get acute sinus infections every year but that kills it usually
youre right. most units are ran for hours and youre not allowed in the same room.
many units i see now have various timers eg: run for 10 minutes on - 50 minutes off.
the cleaner the house the better. the "ozone" smell apparently comes from the dead skin cells and dirt/dust or other organic material that is lying around after the o3 molecule attaches.
last week i was gifted some oregano oil capsules. said they conflicted with his gut. i read they were a good anti-histamine. someone on another fit thread said they were part of a parasite-cleanse formula. i keep seeing ioregano oil show up in random threads this week.
Just saw this Lyme disease thread and someone recommends it
Sugar is the without comparison best food for reducing inflammation (despite what the media keeps saying). Next time you are creating a lot of mucus, try drinking two glasses of orange juice and relaxing for 10 minutes. It will disapear, guarantee it. The reason for your mucus production in the first place is probably stress created from a low sugar high pufa diet.
What is the cause?
I don’t know, I was out in the cold and got a cold that never went away. Got diagnosed with chronic sinusitis after a few months of antibiotics not doing anything to help
Is it just a mucus problem? Try a neti pot or nasal irrigation. Basically just flushing your entire nose with salt water. You'd be surprised at how much mucus has accumulated.
have you ever tested for allergies?
you might have some undetected allergy or what not, if you wanna give it a try, do the following
buy an air purifier (ikea sells some nice ones, and they're good even for non allergic folk), keep it running in your bedroom 24/7
put new sheets on the bed, new pijamas
if you didn't use to shower before bed, start taking showers (just water is fine) washing your face/hands/head well, the idea is to "clean" you and your sleeping area from anything that might be messing with you
also try out what some anons said here about stopping eating some kinds of foods, bowel irritation and shit can have consequences in all kinds of places in the body..
t. someone who thought they had chronic sinusitis, but it passed doing the same (I'm also allergic to some things, so there's that)
>t. someone who thought they had chronic sinusitis, but it passed doing the same (I'm also allergic to some things, so there's that)
Nice that gives me hope. From my blood tests I’m not allergic at all to dust mites, so I know it’s not that at least. Going to order an air purifier now. I’m paranoid there’s mold in the walls that nobody can detect
also do you have a deviated septum?
besides doing this, I always sleep sideways, with the side that breathes better facing up, which unclogs itself with gravity and makes me sleep so much better
>also do you have a deviated septum?
Yeah I think they said one side was a bit uneven possibly causing issues so they adjusted it in surgery. I guess that means it’s fixed. My nostrils were crooked for a while afterwards
I will try but I think the problem is mainly within my body now and clean sheets won’t help much. Worth a shot though
Raw milk might help quite a bit.
Throw away the medication - its just shit to hide the symptoms.
NAC is a mucolytic
Scared of the side effects but I should just get over it and try it since my quality of life is so bad with the mucus
I tried it once and it seemed like it just irritated everything and made it worse. Maybe if I do it every day it would be better
I bought some NAC powder recently but just need to get some small scales to weight it out. Was hoping it would help with blocked nose, post nasal drip and always waking up having to clear throat. Cant cough anything up, just losen to clear. Always see white crap stuck to back wall of throat.
>Doctors gave no medicine said just live with it.
go to a private doctor
Have it for 15 years now, done two surgeries so far because of polyps and even got osteitis after some time. There isn't much you can do besides corticosteroids and daily use of a neti poti, which really helps. Also go to a doc and check if you have some allergies.
Life is suffering, welcome to the club.
I did the surgery once hopefully never again. Hated the nose stints
True I’m going to force myself to do the rinse every day to see if it improves
>osteitis
Shit how to prevent that?
I need to see a doctorc ant blow nose, but can clear from one side to the other by leaning head in a sort of way. Feels good when you can feel the pressure building up then it starts clicking and popping as it frees up. Still have one side that's blocks up more, and cheek is always hot on that side. Might be sinusitis or infection you think? Nasal spray helps and I can breathe like a champion afterwards, but I only use that for special occasions ha
I referred a patient to ENT a while back and got some advise back. Off the top of my head they suggested the following:
1) Daily use of a steroid nasal spray, preferably mometasone, for 6 weeks.
2) Twice daily (at least) use of a nasal douche, they suggested isotonic NeilMed sinus rinse administered in the “bent forward, head down position”. They suggest this as a long term practice, ideally before applying anything else in your nostrils.
3) twice daily use of flixonase (fluticasone proprionate) nasules each nostril for 7 days.
If you do this you should apparently see some improvement, if not I’d get your doctor to refer you for a sinus CT scan and consideration of a FESS procedure under ENT.
>CT scan and consideration of a FESS procedure under ENT.
Already did that, the surgery helped a bit but not for long. I haven’t been doing anything to my nose with me medicine or rinses though so I can try that stuff
Yeah, from what I understand some people only get limited benefit which sucks. In fairness the ENT consultant put more faith in the other stuff 8 suggested.
I was under for like 3 hours. Must’ve been a lot of gunk they were sucking out
What will a CT scan show? Polyps and blockages?
This was what mine said
>How to cure chronic sinusitis
remove dairy.
What about raw milk?
>remove dairy.

i got a fricked sinus infection this year basically got an infection right as allergy season started in march and it got basically trapped inside by the allergic swelling. 12 weeks of hell but neti pot then the sinuspulse broke it through with adding a drop of baby shampoo to the solution as well. it was so gross but after a couple weeks of sinupulsing im cured of this hell for the time being.
>bring girl home
>she uses your bathroom
>sees this
>"sorry, i have to go. my period just started."
bro girls love weird personal hygeine shit like that. every girl i have ever been with loves neti pot, ear candling, ear irrigation, water picks, etc. believe me it these things are a pussy magnet
I’m going to buy one then.
So far my list is
>get oregano oil
>get an air purifier
>rinse every day
>experiment with diet
>research nose sprays
wash your sheets and pillow cases like every 3 days too.
honestly for me what worked is sinus irrigation plus keeping the sleeping area very clean and dust/allergen free. no nasal corticosteroid sprays or allergy medications ever did shit for me. Xlear helped a little bit which im pretty sure is an oregano oil and xylitol based spray
Why does it look like a square waterpik tho
I had narrow sinuses with polyps all throughout and it caused me so much grief with constant infections and pain. Got surgery to widen and clear them out and I haven't had a problem in 5+ years... Stop smoking if you do, that makes it worse.
Im 95% sure this is what I have had the past few years. Not sure if it the dust or mold in my house or, my deviated septum, a sinus infection, GERD related? Its a b***h, was supposed to have a cat scan done of my sinus a while back but didnt want to go near the hospitals at this time. Just been trying to self manage. It does seem better if i cut our dairy and coffee, but sleep suffers when your constantly stuffy
I had sinusitis and had an operation where they stuck things up my nose that opened up the passages to clear out the stuff.
Worse pain I've ever felt, but it got the job done.
i've had chronic sinusitis for ten years
tried the netti pot, navage, wide range of RX & otc drugs -- all bunk
looked at surgeries -- seems 50% of people end up worse or no change.
best thing is just experiment with your diet. some foods trigger it hard. for me it's too much coffee chocolate milk and sweets
ive got it under control for most part. the worst part is nasal turbinates swelling. i still hawk up big loogie every few hours. just part of life at this point.
i started a new job at this office that has thousands of dollars worth of air purifying machines. ive noticed an improvement there. my loogies are less frequent but much bigger in volume anytime im there. could be something to it.
in addendum, try meditation and breathing exercises
many times i meditated, repeating mantras in my head like "i can breathe clearly, my nasal cavities are pure". silly stuff like that. after 15 minutes i could feel & hear my nasal cavity "pop". it removed the symptoms instantly for a couple hours. worth a shot if youre one of those people who've truly tried everything with no help.
>thousands of dollars worth of air purifying machines
I’m going to try making one of these ghetto ones for my room
> "i can breathe clearly, my nasal cavities are pure"
Worth a shot, placebo effect can cure some people of stuff just from thinking they’re better
Forgot pic
ive seen those a lot online and heard good things. seems like cheap fix to get started with. first make sure the filters in your house hvac system are clean.
my boss runs ozone machines & ionic air filters & UV cleaners.
ionic filters, they release negative ions into air which allegedly attach to other particles and genocide them. ozone releases an o3 oxygen molecule which allegedly does the same thing. i was skeptical before and thought most of this stuff was a trick. but the air "tastes" different in the office, and it has some positive effect on my sinusitis. all these technologies/devices are steeply discounted on the 2nd hand/used markets.
You should consider moving honestly.
I've lived half my life in pennsylvania and the other in richmond, VA.
in richmond, no matter what supplement, diet, or routine I tried the allergies will randomly pop up and make my day hellish.
In pennsylvania I could sleep 5 hours, wake up and immediately drink milk, go outside and lick a tree and roll around in some grass and I would be fine.
Surely it's something in the air or water but I don't know.
Spirulina and fish oil, supposedly. I have really bad rhinitis and the only fix for me was using avamys (fluticasone) every other day.
I’ve tried spirulina powder but I struggled finding stuff to mix it with to mask the taste. Ended up mixing it with ice cream which was moronic, I’ll try again. I haven’t tried fish oil either but I should
I have some tea tree oil, will try snorting a bit. Bet it stings
>the "ozone" smell apparently comes from the dead skin cells and dirt/dust or other organic material that is lying around after the o3 molecule attaches.
That is both gross and cool. I got an oregano plant recently to cut up and put with food. Also have been seeing it hyped up more. Maybe it’s a sign for me that it will make me better
Someone recommended a massive dose of vitamin C after i had a cold that stuck around in my sinuses for a few months, i never tried it myself but the person who recommended it to me was a physician
They said to take a gram of vit C every hour until you begin to feel nauseous then stop
I looked into this a bit because i was skeptical but it seems to have some merit as it can inhibit the growth of and degrade biofilm that bacteria use to shield themselves especially in large colonies.
It might not work as a cure but it might reduce symptoms or allow other treatments to work better.
Get your ears checked. When they get backed up, it affects your drainage.
Funny you mention that, the sinus i have trouble with, the ear on that side always has a full feeling and need cleaning a lot.
Increase your ZINC intake. It's needed to break down histamine which causes allergies. It depletes copper, so you should supplement with that as well.
When i cut out seed oils and therefor all fast food and packaged foods mine went away.
