I always get marked increased nasal congestion when on antibiotics. I feel that it is yeast driven since those seem to act up at same time. Anyone else get this. It is a pretty bad congestion that makes me feel i cant take a good breath.

Can you really treat yeast being on abx? Wont it just continue to get worse despite being on the diet and antifungals? This is what i am afraid of.
If it didnt affect my breathing...i wouldnt fret so much, but its sort of a big deal. And when i mention this to docs, they look at me like im nuts.
Even Dr. C thought it was likely an abx herx. But i know that it did this before i treated for lyme, i treated for yeast only for several months and finally got better. But it got worse before better.

I don't know whether this would help, but when I started drinking mangosteen juice, my sinuses ran for two days - ie, emptying out.

Oops sorry for double post...will try to delete. Dr.C gave me nystatin and diflucan. I had to do one full week off of sugar first. I started the nytatin this week...and the congestion got worse! Maybe a herx. Thats what it did for months when i treated yeast with herbs.
But i do always notice the congestion when i start taking abx

That is protomyxzoa. It causes nasal congestion like having an allergy or a cold. It can also get into your vocal cords and make your voice hoarse. It can cause a dry unproductive cough.
For me, these symptoms came and went and came again. It was not consistent.

No, I sure don't. You could call their office. I think the phone number is on the site.
(sorry that I just now saw your question!)

When I am allergic to a med, my sinuses swell. They swell to the point that I can barely breathe. No congestion or discharge. Just swollen mucus membranes.
This has only happened with tablets. Never capsules. I suspect it's the fillers.

Sorry if I glazed over it...but, have you been tested for MARCONS? Might be a good idea!
