Hi and welcome to question doctors.com
Sorry to hear that it seems 2015 and 2016 are not your lucky years
.I do not see any drugs that cause those side effects but it could be a general decrease in your immunity and lung capacity that may be causing a chronic sinusitis or bronchitis secondary to a caught cold..
Try simple nasal lavage with sakt water and black sea water and breathing exercises..coughing and spirometer techniques..
Omega3 and multivitamin and vitamin c are as you know fighters for your chronic case.
hi
seems to be more of chronic sinusitis due to low immunity.
get CT PNS done to rule out polyps or any soft tissue growths inside the sinuses.
take multivitamin and calcium supplements.
thanks
HI
THIS MAY BE SIDE EFFECTS TO THE MEDICINES THAT YOU HAVE BEEN TAKING.
CONSULT YOU DOCTOR AND TRY CHANGING THE MEDICINES,IF NOT LOWER THE DOSES.
hello there
methotrexate can cause this associated with lowered overall health immune system. anti-oxidants with vitamin supplements can help relieve the symptoms.
