at what point do you see a doctor for a sinus infection?

What does the nurse look like?

That shite doesn't work

Best advice from a Dr I ever got:

"Suffer through them for a year or two.
Your body will rebuild its immunity to the allergens and you'll be fine."

It worked, and I was getting steriods and antibiotics once or twice a year before that.
(Which isn't good)

FYI, this 100% works.
I used to suffer from a few incredibly horrific sinus infections 3-4+ times a year. Took about a year “off” from going to the Dr. for them and just suffered for a few days, and haven’t had one in a good 3ish years.

This. I was so sick through most of college that I only had “good weeks” between being sick. At some point I just bit the bullet and had a really shitty year, which resolved that situation.

In the meantime, look into anti-inflammatory food (Tumeric) and maybe consider a neti pot. Just don’t get used to using the neti pot all of the time.

Never, just take Advil and sleep. Your body will fight it off

I tried letting the infection go once and it never would resolve so I had to take antibiotics anyway. I continued to have 2-3 sinus infections per year until I started taking Singulair. Now I only have one every couple of years or so.

Definitely go get antibiotics for what is most likely a viral infection. It won’t do shite for you except make you “feel” like it’s working, but that’s what’s important.

Go and get the NeilMed sinus flush kit at cvs/walgreens. Flush that crap out, and you will start to feel better.
