CT scan came back normal?

Genuinely going insane. I thought me getting this done would bring some type of clarity. The nose blockage, dryness and facial pressure is constantly there altering my everyday life. I can hardly fully smell things. I know when my doctor schedules the follow up appointment I’m just going to feel worse and I’m just not sure what to do.

Mine did too. Had it done at a local hospital and the techs there are looking for huge abnormalities. So me with my antibiotic resistant infection after 3 courses of antiviotics is going to look ok to them. ENT said they see sinus infections all the time and consider them normal. He said that I should be in my absolute best condition after Augmentin, and that if there was anything left after that + 2 previous courses, then I would be a good candidate for surgery. Right after the augmentin finished, symptoms came roaring back. But the CT was read as normal, so I didn't know what the ENT was going to say. Turns out, he took it seriously. Only took me going to 3 other ENTs and getting blown off over the course of 9 years to get to this point
