ask to be prescribed budesonide to put in a sinus rinse
I thought you should know that I got a prescription for budesonide to be used as a sinus rinse from the very reasonable ENT I spoke with this afternoon, unlike the much less reasonable GP I spoke with earlier in the afternoon who told me in the same sentence that she did not believe I had COVID-19 but because I was experiencing a respiratory issue should come in to the COVID-19 clinic in Somerville, which for many reasons including logic I did not want to do. I put it in eight ounces of water with a sinus packet and it did not feel like nitric acid. I don't know what made the difference, but I plan to continue with this course of action either until it improves the weird sharp jaw-and-earache that the ENT is presuming is a leftover drainage issue rather than lingering infection or until it becomes obvious that the weird sharp jaw-and-earache really does need another course of antibiotics or some other treatment. It doesn't seem to be hurting me, either way.
