the open mouth is because she can't really breathe thru her nose. Increased
snezing during the vaporization is okay because that gives increased chance
of her to clear it out. I still wonder if nasa or haed films would be good
to see if the is a mass there. This mass could be fungal or cancer, but
don't know. Both also fit the rest of his signs. See if you can get a
cryptococcosis titer done, or if there is a change in the appearance with x
rays a biopsy, because if it is fungal a better chance to treat it. if it
is nasal adenocarcimona I have one other thing you can try but ONLY if we
think it is cancer. You could also try a nose drop like afrin or
neosynephrine but you need to diute them out some times with saline and only
use for 3 days on then 3 days off. Hope this helps.
