Summary
A person who fell ill around mid-2021, probably with COVID though never tested, developed a burning sensation in the sinuses and nasal passages about a week in, which persisted for over four months with no relief. Neti pots, nasal sprays and antihistamines did nothing, and an allergist suggested a sinus infection while an internal medicine doctor thought it sounded like allergies. Working every day was a struggle.
