Sinus infection with no symptoms

Posted by ColeU95

My sinus issues started literally years ago. When I was about 13 I had a very vibrant yellow mucus drip from my nose, little more than a drop. It happened maybe a few times a day but progressively got worse. I am now 21 and it has not been fixed.

I have been diagnosed with a sinus infection many times going to both walk in clinics and family doctors. I have been prescribed all kinds of sprays and antibiotics but nothing has helped at all. It's like doctors don't believe me when I say it has been going on for years. Also I have no symptoms such as a fever, pressure below or behind eyes, or pain when applying pressure below the eyes on the cheeks.

Another odd factor is that it only affects my right nostril. My left is generally clear unless I am going to sleep and I lay with my left ear on the pillow. In which case my left side slowly becomes blocked and I cannot breath at all. Rolling over onto my right side it slowly clears up and I can again breath from my left side only.

I recently have seen a specialist, who stuck a camera up my nose and told me I had a Pollock. I scheduled another appointment to have it removed, but I already was thinking in my head, that it explained the blockage but not the off color. After an excruciatingly painful session of trying to pull it out of my head we had given up on it because it was very large to begin with, I had hit my pain tolerance because of how sensitive it had become and enough was removed so I could breathe freely.

The next couple weeks i could breathe fine but I still had yellow drips. At the follow up appointment he said it was looking a little infected. I said it has always been like that, and he looked at me in disbelief and surprise. I too was surprised because that was the reason I went to see him in the first place. He gave me a prescription for more nasal spray that I still have not filled because it seems pointless since I have already done multiple kinds of sprays and antibiotics.

As is, I still have the yellow drips, my breathing is back to the same as it was before, and I blow out very gross yellow mucus, sometimes kinda solid. Iv been blowing my nose many many times, everyday for at least the last 7 years, and always only the left side, the right side is absolutely fine. No sinus infection symptoms besides the off color and blockage.View Thread

Posted by dolcevita41

Hi there, well long story short.. I have ETD like everyone else here and it just came on pretty much out of nowhere. One night ears clogged for no reason and for over a year never were normal Again. They were improving however and I could travel once again without clogging or pressure until I get up To higher altitudes but I could and can pop if I have too.. I decided to get the BALLOON DILATION done of my etubes and now my ear is worse. It doesn't function at all now. It doesn't feel clogged like it use to but I could also hear a pop when I moved my jaw around which brought relief, now they feel stuck all the time, they feel stretched, they ache and they don't equalize pressure at all. I hear a crunching title Velcro sound every time I swallow or move my jaw to unstick my ear and it hurts. Nothing feces this issue.. It's been almost 5 months since the procedure and nothing has improved. I thought perhaps now I should get a tube put in so I can travel without pain. But with all these negative posts, I'm scared to do it. I had a slit put in once before the dilation but that just made things loud and I felt deaf even though I wasn't and had this deal clogged sensation and hated it.. But my ETD wasn't as bad as it is now. That balloon dilation screwed my ear up which is odd cause I heard it had promising outcomes for most. Do you know anything about this doctor? My tube feels like it's hardened up After the dilation was done and it doesn't move open/shut fluidly.. Just constantly sticks and aches and now I have oressure sometimes feels like it's suctioned inwards. It's ruining quality of my life.. I try to be positive but I have my bad days. I'm sick of meds to was the pain.. I wish I never had this surgery. Other than my ears plugging through the mountains, it was never this bad.View Thread
