Our medical community is failing us and we really need your help. Can you have a severe sinus infection without a fever?

Asked by jonsblond (43648points) March 9th, 2015

Some of you know that my husband has been very ill. The past two days he started to feel a bit better, but he’s feeling terrible again today and has developed a new symptom. He has developed a very uncomfortable tenderness on his cheek and around his right eye.

Friday afternoon at the emergency room we found out the results of his MRI. He has several cysts in his sinus cavity. Today when my husband called to speak to his doctor (who happened to be out of the office today) the nurse mentioned that the MRI also showed that he has a severe sinus infection. Why wasn’t this mentioned at the hospital Friday afternoon?

My husband has no drainage, runny nose or fever. Is this possible with a sinus infection?

Why didn’t they prescribe an antibiotic? He’s been suffering for over 3 weeks now without a proper diagnosis. Shouldn’t he be on antibiotics for this?
