Sinusitis: Check out http://www.choosingwisely.org/doctor-patient-lists/american-academy-of-allergy-asthma-immunology/ and http://www.choosingwisely.org/doctor-patient-lists/antibiotics/ re antibiotics for sinusitis. Most are caused by viruses which won't respond to antibiotics. No imaging is required for most uncomplicated cases either. Go see your family doc to be sure it's not something else.
