I used to have very frequent ENT sinus infections as a child. I also use to take allergy shots once a week. My tonsils were removed and tubes were placed in my ears four years before the removal of the polyps. Also, another set of tubes during the nasal surgery. After these surgeries there were noticeably less frequent sinusitis complications, soar throats, ear ache, dry cough lasting three months, headaches etc.
In the last month I've had an infection that lasted almost three weeks
These sinus problems seem to continuing more often now. Although, I feel more pressure like a fullness on the right side of my face in the upper cheek, behind and in front of the ear area, to the eye---some fullness feeling there. When I smile, I feel this in the upper cheek under the eye next to the nose.
I have been using a ten day supply of Bactrim DS along with nasal rinse and Flonase. The nasal rinse had cleared out a couple small chunks of mucus. I feel the pressure on my right side, but my left nostril is more clogged. I couldn't get the solution to run out of the right side of my nostril from my left.
