I wasn't trying to be a smartass, I was genuinely asking if you were a doctor. I have yet to consult with my ent, so I'm uncertain about most of it regardless of what the internet says but it sounds promising.

My daughter has CF and major sinus issues. This procedure is revolutionary... No gauze packed sinuses and a quick recovery.

Highly, Highly recommend this procedure



Awesome. It's supposed to be pretty simple and easy to do right in the office.

My girlfriend is in device sales for Medtronic so she's in those procedures all the time. Said they can be pretty disgusting when all that crap gets shot out of the sinuses.

I can imagine, but that sounds like a good thing that shows the procedure is promoting drainage which is the entire purpose.

Neil meds (over the counter) sinus rinse 2 or 3x a day and Flonase can help. It helps me. My ENT suggested I try it. Was skeptical at first. Was wrong.

I have the electric rinse product they offer and I've used flonase extensively and every other variation of the corticosteroids.
