Does The Chewing Of Tobacco Cause Sinus Infection?
I use chewing tobacco. I also have a history of sinus problems. 6 months ago I started coughing along with my sinuses all stopped up. I use the sinus rinse and have been on 3 different regimens of antibiotics (each stronger then the one before) since then. I cough and get a production sometimes 3 times a day. Could this be caused by the chewing tobacco?

Hello and welcome
i really appreciate your concern
i am sure this must be due to chewing of tobacco
which constantly trigger an inflammatory reaction within the sinuses
in my opinion you should stop chewing tobacco and take steam inhalation
A course of antibiotics after culture and sensitivity report of expectorant
