ENT outcome

The ENT specialist wanted to see Braedyn after school on Friday. So I dropped kids off at a girlfriends house. I was worried they were going to put a scope us his nose and that wouldn't be pleasant with other kids.
He went over the films with us as best as he could because he needs a CT scan an MRI doesn't show really what he is needed. He was able to see that his maxillary sinuses (ones on your cheeks are swollen) which would indicate a chronic sinus infection but he can't tell for sure. So he suggested putting him on a 21 day course of antibiotic so see if that will help clear up the congestion he has had. However, he does not think this is the cause of his headaches. We just want to get him feeling better because on top of the headaches he is severely congested. Maybe miraculously after this antibiotic he will be better but the Dr. wasn't as positive.
He ordered a CT scan three weeks out to see if the antibiotics cleared up the sinuses and see if anything else is going on.
He goes in on Wednesday this week to the Neurologist.
Poor guy, on the way to the Dr.s appointment on Friday, he said I just don't want to go to anymore Dr. appointments.
