I have had a 3 month battle with sinusitis. It's something I haven't dealt
with for 15 years until now. I have been on antibiotics. Augmentin seemed
to help a great deal, along with ginger root tea with honey and a positive
attitude. I am now back to square one. I cannot see my doctor until
Tuesday, due to the holiday on Monday. I finished up all of my meds this
week and thought it was finally over. It's not. I am getting very
frustrated, as I did when I became sick initially around 20 something years
ago (I was a teen). I felt better for a couple of days and now it is back.
I feel like crying but I can't do that because it makes my sinuses hurt
worse. I told my doc that we had a good 15 year run after the last sinus
surgery, although I had to lose two teeth eventually, due to the surgery.
He will probably order a CT scan, and at this point, GREAT! I just want
this over but I do not want another surgery. Who does? I understand it is
less complicated now. The packing and being put to sleep are the two things
I absolutely hated the two times before.
I am sorry, just venting. I am drinking my ginger root tea now. It seems
to help. Could just be a warm comfort.

Believe me, I know how you feel.
Aren't you the one who said that she lives on a farm?
Maybe you should start to think about relocating. If you're having bad
allergies from the farm, getting away from there may be the only solution.
Of all the self-treatments, relocation was what helped me the most.

I had a sinus infection, it started before Thanksgiving. Bloody nose and
headaches.
I went to my MD and she gave me nose spray, Allegra D and an antibiotic.
I saw her in December again and she gave me more of the same.
It is just clearing up now.
I have never had one this bad before.
