A member asked:
Repeated sinus & ear infections - very debilitating with fever too. but ct and mri scan of sinuses perfectly normal. how is this possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
ENT- suggest scoping: CT may not pick up all pathology; I suggest an ENT evaluation and flexible nasopharyngoscopy ( scoping of sinuses). Sinus infections usually takes 2-3 weeks to resolve.
