I have been battling a sinus infection for the last month and a half, with symptoms moving from my forehead to my left cheek. I am currently on my third round of antibiotics, but they don't seem to be working. My symptoms include pressure in my sinuses, ringing in my ears, and occasional swelling in my left eye. I also experience waves of feeling fine followed by allergy flare-ups that cause sinus pressure. Is it normal for a sinus infection to last this long and move around, and what should I do next?

My older son vomited last night and has had a sore throat since yesterday. He hasn't eaten since then and we've given him hydralite. What should we do next?

I have been experiencing symptoms of prostatitis for five months, including redness around the urethral opening, penile pain, extreme tip sensitivity, rectal pain, perineal pain, penile/testicular pain, dribbling after urination, and redness around the urethral opening. I am 37 years old and currently taking Quercetin, Amitriptyline for prostatitis, and Metoprolol for my heart. I have been prescribed various antibiotics such as Amoxicillin, Bactrim, Levaquin, and Doxycycline, but my symptoms persist. I have undergone tests including a cystoscopy, testicular ultrasound, and PCR testing for various infections, all of which were unremarkable or negative. I am concerned about the possibility of an infection that might have been missed and am seeking a second opinion on my diagnosis.
