What can I do to fix my sinuses?
I moved to the midwest a couple years ago and have been having sinus problems ever since. I periodically use a sinus wash (like a neti-pot) and take plenty of sudafed and zyrtec, but i still have issuse. I have been to the doctor twice for sinus infections and was given antibiotics and steroids each time, but it is only a temporary solution. Recently, i have noticed that food is getting lodged inside my sinuses occasionally and I have to "snort" it out before it starts to cause problems and stink. I have also noticed that even when there is nothing up there, the mucus that comes out smells rotten, like morning breath.
What can I do to solve these issues with my sinuses? All the doctor seems to do is give me more antibiotics and steroids every time i go there.

The antibiotics and steroids are used to treat the infection and the inflammation. Sudafed may actually be making your issues worse. Neti-pots, although can help, are also a common source of infection. Depending on what your issues are, you may need stronger or a different acting allergy med, you may need saline spray of gel to maintain the moisture in your sinuses. Talk to the doc about your allergy options or ask to see an eye/ear/nose guy.
