Hx- 48 Year Old Female Visited Dr Last Feb Due
Hx-
48 year old female
Visited dr last Feb due to what he thought was a sinus infection. Took antibiotics/steroids. Symptoms went away only to return. Over the summer took at least 4 rounds of antibioitcs and steroids. I'm fine as long as I am on those. When I am off those, I am having about one bad day per week with swelling of nasal passages, feels like swelling in sinus area under eyes, itchy eyes, sneezing (smells horrible), chills, muscle aches, dark circles under eyes...visited allergy specialist and didn't test positive for any allergies. Visited ear, nose, throat dr for scan of head....no problems visible....nasal turbinates a "little puffy". What else can it be? I'm having another miserable day....It almost feels like flu but it isn't...it is something related to my sinuses....HELP
