But i figure i will keep taking the meds for the three weeks that he wants and then go back, on the bright side they said the follow up visit will be alot cheaper then the first one.
As for the pill reaction, so far when taking these meds with food i havnt had any bad reaction. The other reaction i get from pain relief pills is defiantly an odd thing. Normally it happens hours after i take the pill, i will start to feel that bloat and it will just continue until i have to throw up all the air... terribly painful when it happens too. Anymore i just refuse to take over the counter pain medication unless its liquid or gel.
I had thought maybe it was soda reacting with the pill but then a few times i made sure to avoid it all day after i took it and it still happened. Or in the case of the last time, with the childrens chewable it never bloated, instead i just threw up twice with no warning. I never even felt sick other then a pain in my stomach.
Thankfully the antibiotic and the steroid haven't done that yet, which reminds me, how long do you think it will be before i notice a change with taking these? I read online it can take up to two weeks to shrink the polyp but would i notice easier breathing before then? And should i keep taking the anti histamine before bed or will they react together?View Thread

Because of those he prescribed a steroid (prednisone 10MG) and then amoxicillin to take for three weeks to see it gets better. However i don't know if the polyps are the root cause of what i have or if they are just another symptom of something else. But it cant hurt to try it and see i guess.
He didn't do a scope or anything like that, and considering how big the one is i don't know if he would have been able to anyway. For the most part all he did was listen to my breathing and try to strangle me to check my tonsils.
Also I'm curious if you might know anything about an odd reaction i get to pain relievers, every time i take one (any kind of solid pain pill, Tylenol, aspirin ibprophin.) My stomach feels like it fills with a gas to the point of where i get sick and throw it up, which is never fun, and it gets so tight that i have trouble breathing. However liquid or gel tabs im fine with. Does that sound like an allergic reaction to something in the pill? (the pain medication doesn't seem to be the cause since i can take it in liquid form just fine.
I even tried a children chewable once and i didn't bloat but it was kind of painful and i ended up throwing up some kind of red liquid that kind of looked like blood but i was never sure.View Thread

As far as im aware im not alergic to anything, and i have been trying musinex dm (generic) but it doesnt seem to be helping much that i can tell.View Thread

My big issue is that i cant afford to come in four or five times, at 200 dollars each visit. So i want em to figure it out in one visit (with in reason of course) so then on the second if needed we can start on the fix. So i kind of figure if i have at least an idea on it, it will be that much faster. Hopefully anyway.
Just out of curiosity why is it that adults don't generally have the adenoid problems? And for that matter what exactly is it that causes the adenoids to block off the air flow anyway?
Anyway thanks for the info, i think for the most part I'm just going to have to wait and see what they say, i just hate waiting lol. Plus after 7 years of this I'm ready for it to just go away, and my girl friend is too, sleeping next to me is kind of annoying.View Thread

Now it will run obsessively when i wake up (some times it wakes me up, other times should i get up to go to the bathroom it will start up) for hours. And its always congested. I don't think i have easily breathed through my nose in at least 6 years, and i lost my sense of smell around then too. Some times it will come back but its pretty rare.
Since this all started i have just been putting up with it, figuring it was an allergy or maybe from my smoking. My dad however told me to look up Adenoids one day, saying he had to have his removed as a kid. Now that i have, the symptoms are almost exact from what i can find out. But everything I'm finding says its not supposed to be an issue with adults (I'm 28 years old.)
Now for my questions; i have found a couple posts across the internet where adults have found this to be the issue but the doctors refuse to do an operation to remove the adenoids. If this turns out to be the problem, am i going to have to fight with them to do it?
And then also what exactly would be the procedure to both diagnose the issue and then would they plan to load me up on say antibiotics or other meds for a while before considering the operations?
I do have an appointment for the 13th of this month to try and figure it all out, I'm just trying to do a little research while i wait for it to come up.
Thanks for any info that anyone is able to give.View Thread
