I’ve had a sinus infection for about 2 weeks now. started a z-pack (antibiotic) on the second day and it didn’t do much of anything. i still have a lot of snot, but feel better in general. Is it viral and going to resolve itself or is it bacterial and going to start eating my brain? How will i know if I need more antibiotics?
The medicines im taking is
1.Cold multi symptom day time
2.cold multi symptom night time
3.theraflu warming relief cold and chest congestion
they sorta work but im really tired but i cant sleep because i cant breath through my nose, if i fall a sleep breathing with my mouth.. i wake up and my mouth stings, like my nose, because its super dry
also im drinking alot of fluids like orange juice for vitamin C
I have had my sinus infection for a little over a week now I was put on Avelox and it seems like the mucus cleared up alot but I still have the pain and pressure behind my eye and in my cheeks and it is worse when I cough,sneeze,bend over…ect. How long will it take for it to completely go away?
This is driving me insane. I had a sinus cold all last week, which led to slight coughing and now an ear ache w/a slight fever. The fever has slacked off as well as the coughing, and the pain in my ear has gone away but its got that ‘water in the ear’ feeling.
I tried ear drops (CVS pain relief), diluted peroxide, taking a hot bath submerging my ear, i even tried a heating pad but nothing will get it to go away.
