<s>[INST] my age is 54, my height is 5ft 1. I have suffered with my sinuses for many years, I had an operation in 1987 . as the consultant said i had broken my nose at some point and that was the trouble. this operation only made it worse. I now suffer with nose bleads, blocked sinuses all the time. I am pretty sure it is all caused by an allergy, as if I go near furry animals, dusty rooms,or spray cleaners, within a short time I suffer severe bleading from my nose, and pain across the bridge of my nose, then proceeded by headache. I have pretty much learnt to live with it and buy antihistermines which help a bit. iI have recenmtly had a bad virus,which has left me with very bad sinuses, have been to see gp who has prescibed polyfax ointment but when I read the leaflet it does not mention any thing about its ok to put up my nose. do you think this will help and is it safe to put up the nose . thank you [/INST] Hi,Oral antibiotics are more useful in treatment of sinusitis.I would suggest using Penicillin or fluroquinolones for treatment. Saline nasal drops can be used three times a day for reducing nasal congestion since applying polymixin ointment in the nasal cavity may difficult.Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician </s>
