I think you have every right to complain about a sinus infection! Sinus infections suck. I had one a couple of weeks ago. Your head is all stuffed up, and you either have a headache or you feel <swimmy dizzy> all the time. And don't even think about going to sleep, because in the middle of the night your head gets so stuffed up that you breathe out of your mouth, and wake up with a sore throat! The only way you can breathe is to take 5X the Rx dose of Afrin or Vicks or whatever, and that gets you so hyped up that you couldn't go to sleep if your life depended on it!
When you get sinus infections, you have to go to the doctor, which means leaving work, waiting in a waiting room forever with a bunch of people who are sicker than you, all claiming to have the 11:30 appt you thought was yours. Then they put you in the exam room and let you wait another 30 minutes, this time with nothing to read! Why don't they just let you stay in the waiting room? At least there are magazines there!
Then, the doctor finally comes in, tells you it's a sinus infection, which you already knew), scribbles something on a pad, and he's outta there. Less than 5 minutes. Cha-Ching! $80 please!
So, you get your meds, (ANOTHER $ 50 or more, depending on which drug company is giving the doc the best kickback) go home and take them, and finally the sinus infection starts to go away. However, it has to go somewhere, so it is time for the puffs plus and the bright green snot. And God forbid it should be a child who cannot blow his own nose yet. I called that "Green 11's" when my daughter was a baby, cause if you didnt wipe her nose right away, she looked like she had the number 11 coming out of her nose.
And that is why you have every reason to complain about sinus infections.
