Had the flu this past Christmas and from it developed a "hidden sinus infection".
Symtoms: Light headed sometimes, constant ear buzzing at same level,
Headache with temples pulsing and both inner ears have
constant internal pressure (head pressure), eye squinting at
night watching TV (light seems too bright), unusual fatigue.
This has been going on for 4 months now.
Results so far: Ear tests excellent, no fluid, blood pressure ok
Limited Sinus CT Scan showed mild frontal, ethmoid and
right maxillary sinusitis. No air fluid levels to suggest
acute sinusitis. Haller cells unchanged and nasal deviation
to the right.
Treatment: 4 weeks of Ceftin. Little to no improvement.
Told physician this week that my son has had 2 difficult bouts with MRSA. I drew out a cause and effect diagram with my son with symptoms and dates and myself with the same and visually it looks suspicious.
Doc took a culture and is testing for mrsa. Should have results back by Monday.
Any other thoughts if it comes back negative?
Thanks,
