Alan My head is spinning from a long session of online research. I had a CT Scan for my chronic sinusitis and was presented with 2 options: endoscopic sinus surgery OR balloon sinuplasty.
I have watched videos and am intrigued by the balloon procedure but still not sure.

Emily Google must be crazy to put this first in their search terms. The information here is limited and minimal and most of it isn't even about sinus infections, it's more about what *could* happen. On a 1-10 scale (10 being best), I give this a 4. 7/6/2009

Sally Ann Good info. It helped me to understand my situation and to not feel guilty that I thought I should have a fever to have an infection even though I had the tell-tell green and yellow mucus. Allergies or maybe just being in an incredibly old dust may be the cause for me.
Thank You!
