Nasal irrigation. Check.
Decongestant. Check.
Ibuprophen. Check.
Pain still present? Check.
Sigh.
After missing two days of work due to the screaming headache of doom (part 2), I finally knuckled under and went to the doctor Wednesday, mostly so that she would confirm my self-diagnoses and agree to give me antibiotics against a sinus infection. Which she did. I mostly try to avoid antibiotics, because I'm not interested in assisting in the creation of super-viruses, but I haven't been entirely pain-free since the screaming headache of doom (part 1) that I experienced last Sunday, so it was time to take the next step and try to kill it off with drugs. C'mon drugs!
Bleh.
