Question by carol: I get sinus infection often and my doctor always prescribes z-pack I get sinus like every 3 months?

Answer by wermfud Antibiotics can stop being effective if you take them a lot. Then you have to switch to something stronger. Do you smoke? If so, stopping will make them gradually go away and in 5 years you won’t get them anymore.

Question by bananalightning93: i need a doctor or someone who knows!! Ear ache isn’t draining..?
So, i’ve had an ear ache for about 3 or 4 days now. First it started as a stuffy nose, when i went to sleep i woke up early the next morning with a lot of pain in my right ear. For most of that day i laied my ear on a cloth with hot water, a heating pad, and tried a hair dryer to warm my ears. That seemed to help my right ear-it started draining- but then my left ear started getting stuffy.
At this point my right ear is mostly cleared, it still drains somewhat and hurts a little, my left ear is pretty much completely plugged- sound is extremely muffled and it’s not draining except an occassional wetness when i sleep.
Medicines i’ve been taking are these. First day i took ibuprofen, and an equate headache reliever. The following days i took garlic pills, echinacea, golden seal, ibuprofen, a headache reliever, mucus sinus relief, suphenedrine PE(like sudafed PE), and an all natural ear drops for pain.
The only ones i’ve taken together are all the natural ones and one chemically one(or whatever you want to call it).
i’ve noticed that when i use the heating pad anymore it makes the pain worse.
My previous activities had been swimming. i haven’t swam in like 3 years. we went at night for 3 consecutive days, the pool was always warm and so was the weather. i dived a few times in the 12 foot end which i had never done before.
if you have any ideas of what my problem is or how i can fix it, please tell me. i’d appreciate it greatly.
Thanks a ton.

Answer by PeopleRcrzy2Day Nobody here is going to be able to fix it, everyone here is going to just throw in unprofessional
medical advise which in reality could actually make it worse. I’m not a Dr. but I am however
a nurse. You need to go to the Dr..’s he is the ONLY one who is going to help you find out
1. What’s wrong with you.
2 Give you medication to possible “fix” it.
There is NO other way, unless you want to keep playing Dr on yourself =/
ER is free at first you can make payments if needed sometimes the State will pay!
Go get it checked out for C sake. I mean not only are you having EAR issues your having, irresponsibility issues
too.
