Difficult to tell: In order to help you, you need to be more specific what exactly is your "nose" problem. Is it painful, draining, bleeding, congested, etc. A sinus infection is a nasal and sinus bacterial infection with facial pain/pressure, low grade temperatures, thick discharge, thick post-nasal drip, and can include bad breath and a cough. In your case, you need to see a doctor to sort this out.

I have frequent sinus infections with a history of nasal polyps. It seems as if dairy worsens my sinuses. Is this common? Does this mean i'm allergic to dairy? Should I have food allergy tests completed?
