Sinus related issues and candida glabrata
I am a 31 year old female. For 5 months I have been suffering from migraines, sinus pressure, post nasal drip, bad fatigue, sore eyes and bad dizziness.
I was given two courses of augmentin in April and another course in July along with rhinocourt nasal spray which I have been using daily. CAT scan of sinuses showed minor inflammation only. After antibiotics I was fine for 3 weeks but symptoms have returned. Blood tests were ok.
I have now been diagnosed with a candida glabrata infection in the vagina. I have been given boric acid capsules for 14 days. I did have a pap smear just before the infection began.
I now think I could have a bigger candida issue that is causing my sinus issues. Should I see an ENT? And how can I get rid of the candida. I don't know why I got that type because it isn't common, and from what I've read it is an infection of immune compromised patients which makes me scared I have something more serious.

I don't think that it would be a bad idea to see an ENT- just to get it checked out. Has your doctor given you any guidance on how to address the infection?
