anyone? have sinus/drainage after sleeve?

[MeMeMEEE 206]

Nothing is cutting it, I am on a nasal spray from the Dr and Zyrtec and I am just full of allergy mucous! I don't know what to do - it is affecting my eating and drinking as I am literally full from it and it is gagging me to the point of vomiting bile. Help

I have a little but not as severe as yours..

Mine was severe too. I take 2 Benadryl capsules at bedtime and it helped me more than anything.

Can you take old fashion sudafed? The kind you have to show your license and swear on an oath to not take your 24 pack and turn it into meth. (Yes, it irritates me to death that people so abused the med that it takes an act of congress to buy it now.)

I have had sinus issues for years. No worse now than before but I still use sudafed to decongest. Doctor said it was fine. In fact, the one negative before was that it raised my blood pressure but now it's so low, that's no longer a problem either.

[MeMeMEEE 206]

Well I guess I'm just not sure how sudafed or benadryl might help more than zyrtec? I am not congested in my head or chest, they did an xray, it is clear so it leads me to believe allergy. I do have tylenol sinus and other such things in the cabinet - do you really think it will help? And can I take it on top of the Zyrtec I took this morning?

I was sleeved two and a half months ago. I did not really have any sinus issues before surgery, but I got a lot of drainage afterward. I am still getting some sinus drainage. I don't know what may have changed, but my dry mucous membranes are suddenly not dry any more. I also had super smell sensitivity afterward. That has gotten better, but I still get runny nose and post nasal drip a lot now. I am learning to live with it. I have a follow up in a month with my doctor and intend on asking him about it. Things that I have noticed changing since the surgery.

Have you taken anything for it?

I, too, am having excessive drainage issues. I am 1 week out and thought I was alone wiu this! I have always had allergy issues, and this is the time of the year that is really bad for me, but this is the worst it has been. I don't have the headache or sneezing (thank God) but the post-nasal drip and excess spit is ridiculus. I didn't think about allergies until I saw this post, though, but, now, I will make an appointment with my PCP to figure out a way to handle this. Thank you everyone for making see that I am not going crazy!

Oh my, the mucus is horrid! I walk around hocking up mucus and its driving my family crazy!!! Will this ever stop??

[wishes 125]

I have horrible allergies, and sudafed is always my go to if nothing else works.

For my bronchitis, they gave me Flonase and it completely dried up my nose for a few hours. It may be something you want to check into?

[virtygirl 11]

I took had that problem a couple of weeks ago. I finally went to get some liquid benadryl. It helped tremendously, I was finally able to sleep.< /p>
