I have been having major sinus issues since December of last year (2007). I've had congestion, loss of taste and loss of smell. Luckily there was no pain, as I've heard that's a symptom of a sinus infection.
I tried to suck it up and hope that things would clear themselves up, but 4 months later, NO DICE. My co-worker actually scared me into going to the doctor jokingly suggesting it might be a brain tumor. He had a personal story that I won't recount that lended credibility to his claim (no one ended up with a brain tumor, don't worry), so I proceed to make an appointment online.
Today I went to the doctor and got some prescription meds. He gave me an antibiotic in case there was any infection , gave me Flonase and told me to take Mucinex (I bought the generic) and use saline nose spray rinses.
It seems like every time I go to this doctor he gives me drugs. This is the 3rd or 4th prescription he's written for me in 2.5 years. I was about to ask him for some Modafinil to increase my productivity at work!
Just kidding.
