I had bad sinusitis in November never had it before, and when it finally went away the cold symptoms I have had pressure across my nose mainly, slightly across my cheeks and forehead ever since. Ive had antibitics and oral steroids and Ive been to ENT who have given me steroid spray to use...

Its only been 4 days but I'm starting to think Ill be stuck with this for life, my nose is constant aching/heavy pain across the bridge and tip and a constant salty taste in my mouth - anyone else have these symptoms?

Its been 3 months and sometimes the pain feels almost like my nose will snap or explode haha - has anyone had this?! and every now and then shooting pains

    Have you been using a nasal rinse? This dry winter air is a killer and wreaks havoc on the sinuses. If you have not been using a sinus rinse I would start ASAP. You can order the NeilMed Sinus Rinse packets and the bottle on amazon and the directions for use are on the box. It may seem like a very small/simple change but it will make a HUGE difference in how you are feeling. Keeping your sinuses moist is key. Also, steroid sprays can really dry out the sinuses so it's imperative to use a sinus rinse when using those kinds of nasal sprays. hope you feel better!
