Sinus Medication Solution

Question by Buster: Where is this conjunctivitis coming from?
I’ve had a few bouts of conjunctivitis this past year. A couple of recent cases have lead to debilitating sinus pain. There are several factors that I think may all be involved.

My doctor diagnosed the last case of conjunctivitis (at the time I thought was just a blocked tear duct). In all of my cases it’s the same eye (right), the eye is not red at all and the only symptom is a watery eye that may lead to sinus pain. I’ve noticed that just keeping the eye closed brings a good deal of relief (especially from any sinus pressure).

One question I have: is this conjunctivitis that leads to a sinus infection or is this a sinus infection that manifests itself in conjunctivitis? I ask this since I left a case of conjunctivitis untreated and it developed into a nasty sinus infection – oral antibiotics made me better in a day. Another case I treated early with prescribed antibiotic drops – although this kept things from getting worse, the symptoms didn’t go away until about a week after the drops were used up. Very confusing.

Other factors: I have chronic autoimmune hepatitis (is my conjunctivitis autoimmune too?). I have chronic dermatitis around my nose and I treat this with Psoriasin (is this maybe toxic conjunctivitis that I have?).

Conjunctivitis is a contagious infection of the eye It can be spread from one person to another by touching then say you rub or touch your eye after someone else with conjunctivitis has touched a surface It has nothing to with sinuses Symptoms of conjunctivitis can include a red eye swollen & teary eye. Can also temporarily affect vision. Closing your eyes may relieve pressure of sinus but again has nothing to do with conjunctivitis I would check out the possibility of allergies

Question by Lady D: I believe I have a sinus infection that is coming to an end but I still have a temperature.?
I started menstruating on sunday and I also started to feel a cold coming on. During my monthly I will run a fever or feel very hot and warm. So from last week until now I have been feeling warm which isn’t unusual. Usually when I have a minor cold it turns into a sinus infection. So my question is my period is over and my sinus infection is nearing an end so why do I still have a fever?

Hi Lady D,

You have stated your case so eloquently. It makes me feel sad to contradict you.

Here is what I think. You have your periods each month just like one half of this world’s population of your age group. Periods follow a predictable pattern. You are right on the money.

Colds and sinus infections do not follow a predictable pattern because your immunity state, age, nutritional status, virulence of causative agent are not always the same. You feel that that your sinus infection is nearing its end. This is your feeling. The truth is, according to you, “I still have a fever.” Fevers are caused by infections. Is it not possible that your infection is just beginning. Remember, it is possible to have one infection on the top of another etc?

Good luck, best wishes.
