Nasal polyps/ PND/ sinusitis please read
Posted: Sat Jun 15, 2013 1:05 am
I did some research on bb caused by post nasal drip and remembered the ENT once pointing out that I had polyps but didn't know what they were and thought nothing of it. Apparently having polyps is pretty rare, something like 2% of the population(read that somewhere, but it's the Internet don't trust everything you read). Anyways I found it to be no coincidence that I have bb and nasal polyps so I did some research and found this link.

The pictures are really what opened my eyes. It seems that polyps block sinuses from properly draining, causing a build up of mucus in the sinus cavity and a breeding ground for anaerobic bacteria.
Now I'm not positive this is what causes my bb, I still haven't really figured out what causes it. But the fact that antibiotics seem to give me little to no relief and they also don't have much of an effect on my sinusitis leads me to believe that this could be it.
This post for anybody with PND or sinusitis. I'm seeing an ENT Tuesday and I will update this post when I have more information but if anybody has experience with this or would like to chat about it please respond
Stay stinky my friends
