Greetings!
My first post. I hope to share with and partake in the knowledge and experience of the community.
I went into ER 6 weeks ago for chest pain. I was discharged after 24 hours observation and a negative treadmill stress test. I was made to undergo a PCR test for Covid. Unfortunately, I developed sinus problems that have bothered me since. Specifically mucus, encrusted in blood- sorry for too much information. Secondarily, congestion and headaches- on jaws, temple, brows.
My PCP tried to pass it off as a seasonal allergy. I've had mild allergies before but not to that extent. My ENT was more sympathetic and agreed with the iatrogenic diagnosis. He prescribed Augmentin, to eliminate any bugs I may have picked in ER. He also recommended an OTC solvent- Ponaris to clear my nasal airways. In addition, I take Serrapeptase 40K IU 1x daily. I also shine red light 660/850 nm up my nose.
I do other things as well, but the things mentioned above is what I believe help the most and what I've converged on after some trail and error. I believe I am on the way to recovery. My primary goal is to stem the bleeding. I'm all ears or all nose :) I'm a firm believer in the placebo effect. So any solution, however unconventional, is welcome even if it "only" a personal anecdote of N=1.
