Sinusitis

It all started with my sensitive nose long way back... I was diagnosed with rhinitis 3 yrs ago. My GP had prescribed a nose spray for me to use. 6 months later.. i decided to discontinued it and I was well for two years. Until this year, the symptoms came back again but it was on and off. As it doesn't affect my daily routine that much, i ignored it.

Just 3 weeks ago, i was down with bad flu with blood streak in the mucous (think i blow too hard), i didn't suspect that it was rhinitis actually... so my GP prescribed flu medication... a week later, it became more serious that i had to take off from work to rest. I went back to my GP again on the second week. He finally suspected that it could be sinus, so prescribe me with a nasal spray, pills for blocked nose and antibiotics as the mucous was turning yellow. I didn't recover either. My bones ard my eyes and cheeks was hurting, my left ear was having this sharp pain on and off so i went back to doc on the third week which was yesterday.

After diagnosing, I got a shock for a moment when he told it's confirmed that it a "full blown" sinusitis... I went blank... Doc told me the serious consequences. If after these 5-15 days of heavy medications and i still dun recover, i may have to see a surgeon to surgically remove the mucous which had oreadi attacking my facial bones. It's like "punching holes" on my face! I went... huh...

I was given 5 days of a stronger antibiotics, steroids and medication for the blocked nose... awe... heng ah, i only had to take once a day... i had to swallow 7 small pills and 1 big pill... arghh...

So never ignore at the slightest symptoms your nose gave u...
