How did it start for you?

Curious to know how everyone’s symptoms started. Was it random? Did something trigger it and it never went away?

Mine started with cold-like symptoms a few years ago. No previous history of sinus or allergies. I remember getting tested for COVID but was negative. Had lots of sinus pressure on the right side. And the breathing issue never went away. All my symptoms are on the right.

A few months later they discovered an abscess on my right upper maxillary molar that poked into my sinus. The tooth is now out and the green mucus is gone, but the nighttime congestion continues. I’m writing this at 4am because I can’t breathe or sleep.

I don’t understand how a cold or tooth infection that is now removed could have permanently changed my right nostril. It’s been 4 years.
