Numbness In Skull, Strange Smell From Nasal Cavity, Sinus Infection, Mini Cold. Treatment?

Hi, I have been having a few different mysterious symptoms for a while now, some on and off numbness on the right side of my skull . I saw a Dr for it but I dont think his assment was very good, the numbness reall feels like its inside my head, and besides thats Im currently smelling a strange chemical almost chlorine like scent coming from my nasal cavity . I also have had an increase in nasal discharge ro a while now that started with really bad sinus infections that came and went then they turned into a permanent mini cold. I blow my nose alot and theres often a build up in clear colored drainage. Thankyou.

Hi, Lioness,
Thanks for query.
It seems that you might be having chronic sinusitis giving this problem.
Due to irritation of nerves surrounding sinuses you might have feeling of numbness.
Go for x ray PNS (Para Nasal Sinus ).
Go for antibiotic,decongestant medicine course.
Go for stem inhalation with vicks or balm.
Avoid fried and junk food,cold drinks.
Ok and bye.
