Friday, June 12, 2009 worried wife asks

Q: What would cause symptoms of cough, fatigue, hives?

Before and after sinus surgery, my husband has been treated with numerous medications for sinus symptoms (including repeated steroid prescriptions), he uses a saline nasal drip twice a day and meds for acid reflux (even though he hasn't actually been tested for that).  The steroids seem to take care of everything for about a month, then all symptoms return.   He is fatigued, coughing, gets hives on his feet, has horrible sinus headaches and is totally congested.  The Dr. keeps trying and adding other medications, but at this point I feel he is treating the symptoms, not the true cause.  I keep worrying that it may be something more serious. Help!!
