I've seen multiple doctors and an ENT for a cure but many have blamed allergies. I am confident I am not suffering from allergies as I had a sinus infection back in September 2012 and it's never cleared up completely. I've never suffered from a sinus infection or allergies before this time. I've tried nearly every saline solution out there, afrin, dymista, flonase. aleve, mucinex, nasal decongestant, allegra, and 3 rounds of antibiotics: augmentin, azythromycin, and a last one I don't remember the name. I've had a CT scan done and the doctor noticed some inflammation but says there was nothing too serious. I was prescribed prednisone but the infection has not cleared. I suffer from severe nasal blockage in my left nostril and have been coughing up yellow phlegm as well as blowing it out through my nose. I feel lots of pressure near my ethmoidal sinus cavity and well as my my left cheek. Some days it will feel cleared up but then flares back in full force, and the blockage always lingers. At night it is harder to breath. I feel lots of pressure on my ears and when I flew on a plane a few days ago, my ear felt enormous pressure when landing both ways. This has provided me much grief and frustration and my doctor bills have been piling up with no avail. Any suggestions would be helpful. I will be moving to another country in a few months and am desperate to cure this before I need to board the long plane ride.

Well i have also a sinus infection but i think not as worse as your case what i am doing that works for me is that i travel over town to inhale fresh air that can clean the air passage or sometimes i steam from or use nebulizer to break down the clogged that make breathing hard for me although some say it is not advisable that is why i still recommend you the first one
