my husband has been battling what the doctor thinks is a sinus infection he has had this for several months he also has had a bad headache. he isn t one to have them he has also had mood changes not like him at all I am wondering if this is somethingmore than sinus
My recommendation is for a full ENT evaluation if your consulting physician believes it to be sinusitis. Primarily it can be treated by antibiotic administration once a culture and sensitivity of sinus tract aspirates(such as mucus) are investigated. Corticosteroid nasal sprays are also available to help reduce inflammation. A likely cause for chronic(long-standing) sinusitis could be allergies(which would again be benefited by the corticosteroid nasal sprays) or due to deviated nasal septum or nasal polyps(which are growths that are seen). Headaches are commonly seen in chronic sinusitis patients and mood changes could be correlative to long time stress dealing with disorder. It could also be advisable to try some Over The Counter decongestants for allergies such as Pseudocode Chat Doctor.
