Visit to the ENT

This afternoon I had an appointment with the ENT to get my sinuses checked out. The doctor looked in my ears and up my nose. He said my Eustachian tubes are clogged and my nose a little swollen, but he didn't see any signs of infection.

He gave me a two week supply of Astepro which is a topical antihistamine you squirt up your nose. I tried it out as soon as I got home and now it's starting to do something. Some of it dripped into my throat, but the rest must've made it because I'm getting that light-headed feeling which occurs when my sinuses rapidly drain.

I'm supposed to use this stuff for two weeks. If it works, he'll get me a real prescription. If not, I'll probably need a CAT scan.

Fun times.
