A member asked:
Sinus and ear infections every 4 months or so. but mri and ct scan show no sinusitis or issues. is it possible to have chronic issues normal scans?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
? Not chronic: Recurrent acute upper respiratory tract infections don't necessarily reflect on imaging studies in between attacks, unlike chronic conditions, so diagnosis needs revision, good luck
