For the past week, I’ve been suffering from my sinuses. Qais got nasty sick – RSV – and we all caught it to some degree. Of course I got lucky, and also picked up the worst sinus infection I’ve had in years. Bad enough that I was willing to go to the doctor and complain about it. She took one look in my nose and told me that I needed to take antibiotics. The funny thing – she’s a very holistic doctor who isn’t into medicine. This apparently looked bad enough though.

Do our sinuses do any good for us? Or are they just like our appendixes, waiting to get infected and make us miserable?
