I'm on Clarithromycin at moment, doctor thought it might clear sinuses, not helping after 5 days now. Started with bad cold/flu symptoms a month ago, had decongestants and rest. Still producing a lot of mucus after all these weeks - feeling of slim at bad of throat - not nice - earache/pressure. Anyone had this for this long - any advice what I can do/get to clear it. thanks

It can take ages to clear, I was offered steroids once after a really bad infection.

Try menthol crystals inhalations, dont make it too strong. They could be used to replace water boarding if you make them too strong. Try a few crystals in boiling water in a cup.

Post nasal drip?

Being introduced to neti has kept my tubes clear. Neti pots are available on Amazon.

Post nasal drip? I'll go back to the doctors and see what they have for it, looks from what I've just read that it could be this. thanks. I'll have a look at neti pots as well. thanks
