Hubby has the stomach bug that's going around. My daughter has had a cough for two weeks, and my son has the flu. Why must we all get sick at once?

I started getting a lot of sinus infections when I moved to Idaho. These are the things that influenced my condition.
Allergies - something that grows here I'm allergic to. I'm also allergic to mold and it was in my old apartment.
Adenoids - my adenoids grew back (wtf? I had them removed many years prior) and were infected.
Deviated septum - my nose had been broken and because of the first two issues, it couldn't drain the infection (eww).
Antibiotic resistance - I had been given so many different drugs with poor results that the infection never went away, and not much worked.
Try and see if you can get a referral to an ear nose and throat doctor and/or an allergist. I'm so much better after multiple surgeries and allergy treatments. Also getting a sinus rinse kit helps so much, and they are pretty much safe for everyone, even pregnant women since it is just warm water and salt squirted up your nose.
