UPDATE
when back the ent. he did another exam. prescribed flonase and scheduled a barium swallow test for next week. on the diagnosis receipt thingy he circled chronic rhinusitus and sinusitus (sorry for the poor spelling) and at the bottom he wrote dysplasia.......
(im leary of doctors tho bc i know they play word games when it comes to billing insurance.
my gut tells me he has no clue whats wrong and wants to just milk my insurance..)
but anyway can anyone explain those terms and how they relate to BB

Flonase (fluticasone) is a nasal spray corticosteroid, used to reduce nasal inflammation, congestion and sneezing. IMO, you don´t need this, but you can try it and see if it works.
Barium swallow (Fluoroscopy) is an examen that you swallow contrast (barium) and with a fluoroscope, the doctor can see the pass of the contrast. With this examn you can find the origin of your BB, but you need an experimented doctor in fluoroscopy of esophagus.

Chronic rhinosinusitus. is an inflammation of the nose mucosa and paranasal sinuses. IMO you have a chronic rhinosinusitis, but this is not the cause of your BB.
Displasy. is an anormal appearance of the cells (example: Barrett´s esophagus in acid reflux). IMO I don´t think that you have displasy.

hi
would definately not start doing the zyrtec. I`m a 29year old who started doing anti-histamines as a child and have gone through the whole ladder from teldanex, to clarityn and finally zyrtec.
These days my allergy isnt that bad anymore thus i want to quit the pills. When i stop i get seriously ill after a few days and the condition rapidly becomes worse until a point were i cant function.
What i am experiencing while quitting zyrtec for a few days is not allergy, it is simply my body being totally dependant on the zyrtec.
