Lightbulb something to consider

I don't know, Cathie, if you have tried Singulair?

This is an anti-inflammatory/anti allergy drug that is very effective.

I have been using it for over 3 yrs for fluid in the ears and allergy issues from work (the drugs I cannot avoid being exposed to that I am allergic to).

Originally Singulair was intended for asthma, but lately it has branched out into the allergic area, and I personally think it is more effective than antihistamines.

One cannot however, switch rapidly from steroids to it. A careful taper must be done. But for maintenance for breathing/sinus/ear issues, I think it is extremely useful. So think about that, and bring it up to your doctor next time you see him/her.
