CAT Scan: A cat scan may not be required at any point during your current infection. Ear pressure can remain even when there is no longer an active infection.

Agree with Dr. F: In addition to the treatment your doctor prescribed, you may try steam/vapor inhalation to help in draining the sinuses. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
