Is There Any Relation Between LPR And Chronic Sinusitus?
Question: Is there a strong relationship between LPR and chronic sinusitus?
Brief Answer:
Chronic sinusitis increases chances of LPR .
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
In my opinion , chronic sinusitis increases chances of LPR because postnasal discharge from sinuses goes into laryngopharynx .
If I were your treating doctor, I would advice you
Tab Esomeprazole 20mg for LPR better than omeprozale.
Steam Inhalation twice daily, Saline nasal spray thrice daily ,
Antihistaminic levocetirizine + Montelukast combination in night ,
antibiotic Ofloxacin + ornidazole combination twice daily after food &
Paracetamol for pain , headache .
Investigation needed CT SCAN PNS & Diagnostic Nasal Endoscopy.
Here my suggestion is that you should consult your ENT doctor for thorough examination, necessary investigations and treatment.
Hope this information helpful to you .If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Regards.
