Sinisitis and a nose that makes a 'popping' sound when im asleep?

Hi, my partner tells me that my nose makes a popping noise when i am sleeping. It sometimes wakes him up, he is a light sleeper.I have recently had sinisitis and still have. Started off with a sore throat, constant nose blowing and then a cold and pain in my forehead and cheeks. Got erothromycin from the doctors, this was 9 days ago and still bunged up and nose blowing and generally feeling rough!Anyone got any previous experience of 'popping' nose noises?Am i an alien?

It does sound like a sinus infection. You may need another course of antibiotics.
Nasal spray helped me when nothing else would - Bercanase(spelling?) which is about £3 over the counter.

ROFL at Am I am Alien?? Brilliant. Sinus infections are shit. Sounds like you need more ab's. Hope you are better soon

beconase is £3? oh no i got some on prescription £6 odd grr.

beconase is good, also salt water. i've had erothromycin too for sinisitus, ended the course a couple of weeks ago and still feel bunged up a bit. think it takes a while to clear.

You might have had a "big bottle" of beconase?

Sorry to annoy you but my doctor said ' ill give you 2 to save prescription charges'! I couldnt believe it either. My doc said that abs dont work just make the patient feel like they are doing something.

The beconase that is sold over the counter is different to the beconase that you get on prescription. My pharmacist checked it out for me last time I needed it.

oh confusion!

my sinus has cleared but i still have a bit of pain when i touch my cheek. guess it just takes ages to clear. it's so horrible.
