Thank you for all the replies! The student in question appreciates all the feedback.
The student recently met with an ENT and told the doctor about the pressure she felt in her sinuses and that she felt that way for quite some time. He checked her ears and they were clear. The doctor needs to get an MRI to see what is going on in her sinuses; however, protocol dictates a 21 day regiment of antibiotics and chromatic nasal spray. After the 21 days, if she is not better, he will prescribe an MRI. The ENT may also decided to scrape her sinuses.
