I wish your ent center was near by ;( Went ENT near by and w/o any treatments offered balloon sinuplasty bc I'm keep getting symptoms after my kid catching a cold at daycare... I have to do it this year bc of insurance deductible will be reset next year.. im very worry. asked for culture and they did from my nose when i have super running nose day they took liquid kinda mucus swab wasn't deep in at all test came back nothing. it shouldn't be nothing... i believe they didn't correct right....and I did CT anout 2 months ago and they see inflamed sinus even when I didn't have symptoms. Im suoer worry about the surgery... usually the symptoms going away within 3-4 weeks and than come back within few years before my son started daycare
