How much antibiotics before referral?

[PleasantZen]

If you were referred to ENT for recurring sinus headache and sinus infection, how many times did you get prescribed antibiotics before you got referred? And over what time period?

I feel like I am being a nuisance to my GP but I want to get referred.

Anyone?

How many times have you had abs?

In the last 10 months 4 times

No experience, but that does seem excessive. Have you asked to be referred?

Can you afford to pay for a private referral? Choose a consultant who also works at your local hospital.

Have you had steroid nasal sprays in between. The ENT clinic will recommend these anyway do might as well start them before being referred
