Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / September 2004Sinusitis without Nasal Discharge
I have been diagnosed with sinusitis, but do not have any yellow or greenish nasal discharge. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced a similar situation. Any input is appreciated. >I have been diagnosed with sinusitis, but do not have any yellow or >greenish nasal discharge. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced >a similar situation. Any input is appreciated. Sure but what *are* your symptoms. think of cilia as tiny oars that propel the mucus to the right direction. Murray Grossan, M.D. http://www.ent-consult.com Doc., your mention of the cilia as tiny oars, just caused a flash of Ben Hur to zip through my mind. "...We keep you alive to serve this ship; so row well, and live." ;-) ...Jon My symptoms include fever, fatigue, malaise, pressure in ears, and most of all this weird tightness/pressure in my cheeks. I was given amoxicillin and started to feel better, but the tightness in my cheeks did not go away. Since I finished the amoxillin, I got sick again. I am going to have a CT scan done later this week. I just wonder if I have been diagnosed properly. >My symptoms include fever, fatigue, malaise, pressure in ears, and most of >all this weird tightness/pressure in my cheeks.

Ask the doctor to show you the films themselves (not just the radiologist's report) and point out any abnormality in them. If he/she does not want to do that, he/she is not an expert in sinuses and you need to borrow the films themselves (not the report) and take them to a sinus specialist (e.g at a major University Medical Center). But yes you can have sinusitis with no colored drainage - it could be all bottled up in there, or it might just b inflammation with little or no patent infection. If all else fails, ask about Wegener's granulomatosis or similar autoimmune vasculitis -- blades > My symptoms include fever, fatigue, malaise, pressure in ears, and most of > all this weird tightness/pressure in my cheeks.
