If Left Untreated...

What happens when you leave a bad sinus infection untreated? I know w/ infections, if you don't get better you die so your body is constantly fighting it (probably why I am always so run down and tired). But I just don't know how to get rid of it naturally, I honestly don't want to get back on antibiotics, I was on them like 5 or 6 times last year (since I usually get a bad sinus infection about once every 4 months..sometimes less...) Last Year was a bad year for it, too. This time, I've had the ickies for about 3 weeks now and it alternates between draining down my throat (post nasal) and into my chest, which burns like hell when I cough it all up--if I take mucinex which is what the Health unit nurses here on campus told me to do--(free health visits--I have no insurance and can't go to a "family" Dr for this...) it then goes into my nose and I constantly have to blow stuff out, and that stuff, which was turning more white than yellow since I started taking Silver Colloidal as well-- has now turned YELLOW YELLOW again...and sometimes my nose still bleeds althoug, lately that's gotten better when I irrigate with Saline spray. But, I obviously still have an infection...i've got bags under my eyes, pain in my face and teeth....and the constant coughing/blowing my .

Lately though I have wondered if it's b/c of this tooth I have that has a huge cavity that's been hurting me--I also realized last night that when the tooth was at it's worst is when I got sick at first...i guess it could be possible that the tooth got infected and then affected my sinuses...

So what happens if all this is left untreated?!?!

An infection can become stronger and more powerful, and, as such, could become more resistant to antibiotic treatment.

Re: If Left Untreated...

I had a terrible sinus infection that would just not go away about three years ago. I was being treated with Levaquin and steroids for about three months. Finally, the pcp sent me for a CT Scan and they told me I had to have emergency sinus surgery. The infection turned to staph and they said if I did not have the surgery the infection would go to my brain. Very dangerous! Sinus infections can be/ are dangerous. Other areas can be involved like your eyes...permanent damage to your sense of smell... Scar tissue forms in your nose...Make an appointment to see a doctor and plead your case to him. Do the same for the tooth...If you tell them you are a student they may give you a discounted rate...Plead poverty!
