I’ve had sinus problems for years. Having had no joy with the NHS back in the uk, since moving to Vera I wondered whether anyone could recommend a specialist I could go to privately to get some scans/X-rays to find out what treatment I may need. I know I can’t travel at the moment but just thought I would ask now whilst I’ve got time to research. I have transport so when we can travel that won’t be an issue. Many thanks.

Are you meaning a private specialist?  If so, it's normally by referrals from a private GP of which there are a few in Vera.  Another idea is to find a specialist listed on Internet for Almeria province.  Go to Search and type in:  Provincia Almeria Ottorino.  You should get a list of all available which hopefully may mention if any speak English or any other language.   Good luck!

I’ve suffered allergic rhynitis for years and nhs hasn’t come up with a remedy. When I came to Spain the chemist recommended respibien nasal spray. It’s around €6 and I used it every night for 5 or 6 weeks. All my symptoms have gone and although I keep a bottle just in case but have never used it.
