Dr. Internet -- You scare me.

Worse than the 10:00 AM arrival and hug of my 2 year old son accompanied by a warning about the imminent danger of hostile robots.

I simply looked up how long I should be suffering from this very nasty sinus infection before I need to see a doctor to find out that I could die. My sinuses could swell into my brain or something, cause my eyeballs to fall out of my head after dilating my pupils, making me go blind and then killing me.

Don't believe me?

If left undiagnosed and untreated complications of
sinusitis can occur that may lead to severe medical problems and possibly
death. the following complications are medical emergencies and require
immediate treatment in a hospital's emergency department:

• Headache, fever, and soft tissue swelling over the frontal
  sinus may indicate an infection of the frontal bone called Pott's puffy tumor or
  osteomyelitis. Usually this complication is limited to
  children.
• Infection of the eye socket may result from ethmoid
  sinusitis. The eyelid may swell and become droopy. Fever and severe illness are
  usually present. A person with this infection may lose the ability to move the
  eye, and permanent blindness may result.
• Ethmoid or frontal sinusitis may also cause the formation
  of a blood clot in the sinus area around the front and top of the face. Symptoms
  may be similar to those of eye socket infection with the addition of a fixed and
  dilated pupil. This condition usually affects both sides of the
  face.
• If a person experiences mild personality changes, headache,
  neck stiffness, high fever, altered consciousness, visual problems, or seizures,
  infection may have spread to the brain. Coma and even death may
  follow.

In other words, I probably should update my will. And talk to my husband about my dying wishes while kissing and smothering Little Monster with love. And chocolate. I could go into a coma at any second. OR I COULD DIE. But then again, maybe I should just take some more Tylenol and call my Doctor if it doesn't go away by next week.
