I had my dentist take some X-rays and he
said my teeth and nerves are a lot closer to my sinus cavity on the left
side where I have the numbness problem than on the right. Said there was
nothing permanently that could be done except with facial surgery. My
solution to the problem is much easier - Allegra D stop the sinus
inflamation ! Going flying actually helps my symptoms, maybe because I'm
away from the allergens in the air near the surface.



Be aware, that people who have had chronic sinus infections for extended
periods (years) of time, can have the bone structure eaten away. There can
be so little bone left that you could fracture your upper jaw by biting down
on something hard.

My dad had exactly this condition.

Moral of the story: if your snot is runny yellow or green, get to a doctor
and get checked out; you probably have a rip-roaring infection. Antibiotics
can help.
