Maureen, Im sorry you are getting over being sick. Im not sure if this would apply to you or not but it could be helpful. I have permanent sinus damage from the radiation treatments. Its like I have a head cold every single day 24/7.

At night I take childrens liquid benedryl to help dry my sinuses but it also dries out my mouth at the same time so I have to be careful with how much I take. I also use the Breathe Right nasal strips on nights when my sinuses are really bad. They really do help.

Feel better smile
