Book Reviews of Harvard Medical School Guide to Healing Your Sinuses (Harvard Medical School Guides)
Book Review: A good review or refresher for the sinus plagued.
Summary: 4 Stars
As someone whose had sinus issues due to allergies since the teenage years, I've spent years researching & reading, though never really reading a formal book on the subject. This book is a good place to start if you know nothing about sinus issues. For someone who generally stays on top of news & information about sinus issues and curing/preventing sinus infections, the main things I found useful in the book were:
1. Commentary on the fact that antihistamines like Allegra/claritin thicken mucus and make it more difficult for your body to wash out the bacterialized mucus.
2. Some more specific information about why it is so critical to keep swelling down in the nasal passages to prevent "the cycle" from repeating
3. The fact that it is now common for antibiotic rounds to go 90 days or more to fully rid one of sinus infections
4. A focus on the fact that chronic sinus issues cause people to feel about their life the same anguish that people feel when they have diseases typically considered "more serious"
While nothing groundbreaking, the book gave me the idea to back off on the "allergy medicines" and only go with the nasal steriod sprays. I have had significant improvement in the last month compared to the last few years, due to no thick congestion in the head. Any person who can pick up on one or two things in the book that make a difference would make the book worth it.
