Addicted to Xylomist- Sinusitis

2020-11-17 04:02:14
Hi, I started using Xylomist after diagnosing with Sinusitis. However, I haven't been able to stop the usage - it's been over one year. Please let me know how to stop that. I can't breathe from nose if I don't use Xylomist. Also, please tell me the alternatives which are not steroid based since I can't use steroids.

Switching over to normal Saline drops and steam inhalation twice a day if symptoms are tolerable is best.. If not then stop xylomist and take steroid spray in tapering dose..
