Answer 1

Wellll...and this is just a guess...I'm thinking as you are and have been 'stressed' (insomnia/anxiety) which stresses the body as well as the mind...and you have been off and on antibiotics...I would suggest you go on a regular dose of Acidophilus...(health food stores) if you haven't already.  Many doctors these days recommend the Acidophilus when prescribing antibiotics as they realize the benefits of getting the bacteria balance back in line - antibiotics mess this balance up...as does stress, sugar, alcohol etc.  

I see many folks with reacurring symptoms such as yours..and once folks get on a regular pattern of getting the bacteria or Yeast back in check..symptoms diminish.  Granted I am a natural health practitioner, and also use herbs to increase the immune system..so that is recommended also but the acidophilus and also Olive Leaf (capsules) (both of these can be taken at the same time) will help your overall conditions and put the sinus issues to rest.

Ps..hope you are addressing the insomnia and anxiety as well...diet and herbs will assist in those areas too.

Answer 2

My husband uses this to keep from getting bronchitis, and I use to to cure sinus infections. THere are many kinds of bacteria that live in the sinuses, and this gets rid of all the bad ones!.This is the only thing that really helped me --- my Dr. told me about a sinus wash that will kill bacteria.

you need

distilled water

sea salt

liquid chlorophyll and colloidal silver from the health food store.

in a glass mix 1/4 cup water with a pinch of salt and heat to body temperature.

add 5 drops each silver and chlorophyll and mix.

using a large dropper (like one used for infant medication) drop 2 full droppersfull into one side of the nose while laying down.

Turn the head and let it drain out the other nostril. Be sure to have paper towels handy.

The silver kills the bacteria and there are several hundred kind that can live in the sinus cavities and anti biotics don't get rid of them all.

Do this twice a day for a week, mixing up the mixture fresh each time.

Then do it once a week for maintenance.

There is nothing in this that will hurt you, and it cured me.

I do not have to take claritin, or antibiotics anymore.

best wishes
