Eventually she was given a steroid based 'inhaler' ( the type you squirt up your nose as inhaling)- don't know it's name sorry, but it's worked. Once a day before bed - pain and discomfort finally subsided for her (and me!).
I have suffered with spasmodic chronic sinusitis for years!
I've have a few doses of anti-biotics in the past which did help for a while, but then it reappears.
My gp doesn't recommend sinus washes, as he used to do them himself at the local hospital & says they don't always work.
I have a steroid based nasal spray on prescription.
Hope you get sorted out soon Eve.
