Advice: Get baseline CT and follow up yearly! Make sure they are aggressive. Sinus disease has eroded 2 holes, one to dtr's eye and one to brain. Now follows with eye doc to make sure eye is not moving out of the socket. Only way to close holes involves covering with plates or mesh. Serious stuff but yes, we do tease her about sneezing too hard <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"><br><br>Saline rinses daily with waterpik, antibiotics both oral and in sinus neb. Also, seroids in the sinus neb. Office cleanouts every 2-3 weeks. Yearly out/pat surgical cleanout.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
