Hi,

i suffer from health anxiety so probably shouldn't be reading on here but just after some advice :lol: trying to stay away from the docs, lol!

I always suffer from sinus probs esp in this heat, its been 3 weeks now and ive had a feeling of swelling under right eye/cheek (my face looks fine though) dry snotty nostril on right, fullness in right ear etc... Dr has told me in the past its inflammation and not infection and given me a spray which I take daily.

I wake every morning with it at the moment but ive also been getting a sore scalp when brushing, doesn't hurt unless its brushed but its very sore, not like its ontop of the scalp like its from underneath, if you get me :p anyway im really getting myself in a pickle worrying is it infected sinuses and then it will lead to meningitis (ive read far too much on nhs direct in the past) or is it something like a tumour or something else nasty.

My dr a few weeks ago called the soreness on my scalp a 'red herring' and not to worry but its been more sore ever since.

I am so silly, always think when my sinuses play up that its going to turn into meningitis if left but the drs never give me anti bs as they always say if it were an infection id be very ill and have a temp which im not.

Any advice appreciated.

Jess
