Anyone heard of getting a swollen face (particularly on one side of the nose) from a sinus infection?Posted by: Alan in Sinus Infection, tags: Anyone, face, From, Getting, heard, Infection, Nose, particularly, Side, Sinus, SwollenI’ve been having problems with severe pain and swelling on the side of my nose for about 5 days now, and I’ve been suffering from a sinus infection for about 10 days. I get them chronically and antibiotics don’t really work any more, which is why I waited so long before going to the doctors; at this point it barely makes a difference. Anyway, I get them about once a month, go on antibiotics for 20 days, feel OK for 10 days, then I’m back on the antibiotics again – a terrible cycle! This has been going on for 10+ years, and I’ve never had a swollen face before, but my doctor said that this swelling I’m experiencing is from the infected sinus fluid leaking into my face I guess (?). I’m thinking that as I’m becoming more resistant to the antibiotics, the sinus infections are just getting worse. Anyway, I also got the biggest pimple of my life in that same area (I’ve never had acne) — could that be the infected sinuses “leaking out” through my skin where it’s so swollen in that area?

Is my sinus infection over or getting worse?Posted by: Alan in Sinus Infection, tags: Getting, Infection, Over, Sinus, WorseI recently had a sinus infection and got antibiotics and finished them today. I’ve been doing better and haven’t felt sick since I got my antibiotics last wednesday. Today I hawked a couple loogies and there was blood in the mucus. And when I blew my nose my snot was really dark colored, a dark brown, if you will. Can someone tell me what’s happening?

I’m getting a catscan… advice?Posted by: Alan in sinusitis treatment, tags: Advice, catscan..., GettingI’m a huge baby when it comes to medical things. Lately I think I’ve had a sinus infection, but I thought it was a brain tumor. I’m having a facial CT scan this week to see if it is sinusitis or migraine. Will the exam take long, will it hurt/be uncomfortable, how long will it take to get results? If I have migraine, what treatment will I get? |
