I'm wondering if anyone has experienced a sinus infection that didn't seem to go away no matter what you tried. If so, what did you do to make it go away?
I have been fighting the same thing for a month now. It started with the flu, and later became a sinus infection that won't quit. I am finding that the swimming is giving me some relief. However, my wife is cranking the heater up while I am asleep causing me to get too dry and resulting in a minor sore throat. Subsequently, my sinus begins to run and the process starts all over again.
I have noticed my energy level is not where it normally is. My concern is that I don't develop something stupid like "mono".
I am finding that adequate rest (8 hours, as opposed to my usual 6 hours ) and regular hydration has helped. I also think that being indoors with all the windows and doors closed at the office and at home does not allow the space to breathe. Therein probably lies the problem. The germs continue to linger indoors.
Let me ask, do you have children? We have two boys. They are rarely sick, but when I drop them off at school, I see a number of sickly, nose-dripping children there. This absolutely freaks my wife out as she constantly chases after our boys with a Kleenex. They blow like a pro. I digress. I suspect also that our children a little "Typhoid Marys" who are bringing these wintertime bugs from their classmates home to roost. Just a thought.
Sorry for the long-winded reply. It's cathardic for me. |
