A member asked:

Cant swallow, keep sneezing, runny nose, after sinus infection am i dieing :'(?

Sick!: So sorry you are still sick. Your ability to fight off infection is greatly reduced because of the cigarette smoking. It affects the cilia in your nasal passages. You must stop and let your body heal.
