I have been having sinus problems for the last 5 years, and the symptoms seem to be recurring more frequently as time passes. I had had a cat for a number of years, therefore I got rid of it, however I'm still getting the same symptoms. Please advise me as to what I can do to stop or decrease the recurrence of these symptoms. The symptoms you have described are suggestive of an inflammatory process however they are not particularly localized and therefore could be related to a wide variety of possible causes. Allergy is a very likely potential cause.
Chronic sinusitis is also a possibility.
It may be reasonable to have another visit with an otolaryngologist for consideration of a screening CT scan of the sinuses. A thorough evaluation by a primary care specialist would also be reasonable. OFCN is not engaged in the rendering of professional medical services.
