Where's Dr Gregory House?
The day after this, I visited the ENT specialist to listen to his opinion after he had the chance to review the CT scan.
The verdict? Same as his scope i.e. there is no evidence of sinusitis. Not even a hint of it. It is mind-boggling, even to him, since I exhibited typical sinusitis symptoms and obtained relief (albeit temporarily as long as I'm on medication) by taking medication for sinusitis.
In the end, there is no real diagnosis. His advice to me was basically to stay as healthy as possible e.g. exercise regularly, adequate rest etc and try forgetting about this illness. The funny thing is that, as a few people have pointed out, I'm already doing all those healthy-living stuff. Someone even suggested that perhaps I should start living unhealthily since people with less-than-healthy lifestyle has no health problems.
I did, however, tried something new that night. A friend claimed that his sinusitis is due to humid condition and suggested that I use the dry mode of the aircond while sleeping (which works for him). Whether it is due to this or otherwise, miraculously I haven't had any sinusitis symptoms (especially that bad headache) for past two days after adopting his idea. I woke up with only slight pressure around my eyes and nose, which gradually eased off and gone by late morning. Weird.
A case for Dr House, isn't it?

You may want to try my friend's method. It is still working for me now.
Ban,
Healthier and stronger body is good for all things I supposed.
I'm not that clean lah. Just healthy living. I use Flixonase nasal spray as and when I need it.
