I went back to the doctor this past Wednesday because my sinus infection just doesn't seem to be getting any better. So this time they took x-rays of my face. The Dr. said things look fine but swollen. So she gave me a new allergy prescription and a steroid spray to take down the swelling in my sinus'. Well the x-rays were sent to the U of U hospital for a Radiologist to read them and make sure the doc didn't miss anything. Low and behold.. I still have a nasty infection!
Well Duh!! That is what I was trying to tell the darn doc!
So they called and told me I have Maxillary Sinus Disease. They are going to try another round of antibiotics on me. This round will last longer and be stronger then the last round. If that doesn't kick it, then I will have to see an ENT. I have polyps in my sinus' that are the major problem. As soon as I get any sort of infection and thus swelling the sinus' cant handle it because they are already dealing with the blockage form the polyps.
Myles is now on antibiotics because he has a sinus infection too. He has the worst cough at night. It keeps us all up when those coughing fits start up!
So steer clear of our house for a little longer. Never know when we will sneeze or cough on you!!

I'm sorry to hear about all the gunk you've got. Hang in there, it will get better (Spring is on it's way - along with warm weather). Until then, drug up and sleep a lot (hubby does dinner, right?)
OH, poor girl. Sinus infections are the pits. Sadie has a nasty cough that acts up at night as well. Problem is, when she coughs, it makes her throw up. She and I were up pretty much all night last night because she kept puking. The joys of motherhood!
I'm so sorry for you guys! At least they sent on your X-Rays and figured out you still need the drugs, instead of telling you everything was fine and letting it get worse and worse until your nose exploded and you looked like you climbed Mt. Everest and got frostbite. Woah. That was scary. :) Love you sister!
I'm sorry! Can I get you some icecream to eat and then hold the bowl on your nose to reduce the swelling???!!
