What causes nasal congestion, sinus pain and dizziness?
Patient: I had a really bad allergy episode with a lot of congestion and sinus pain. I lost hearing and have felt a little off and had some dizziness. When I am around people talking it sounds really loud and almost hurts. Like I am very swollen. I have been on Prednisone and antibiotic, but neither helped much. It has been 4 weeks. Doctor: Either infection or allergy is responsible for your medical condition. What antibiotic did you take ?  It is always better to do a culture and sensitivity before starting antibiotic. Was that done ? I would suggest you find out which microbe is responsible for  take the right antibiotic which will deal with your infection.
