Suggest treatment for sinus infection
Patient: Hello, my husband is a healthy 35 year old but since sunday he has been vomiting and has 100 degree fever. We have been to the ER but they just said he has a sinus infection and last night he started to feel better but today he is worse. What should i do? Doctor: Hi..Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..As per your complain in case if your husband has a sinus infection then it needs to be treated with antibiotics like levofloxacin or cephalexin,take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Naproxen or Ibuprofen, take anti-emetic [to relieve vomiting] like Domperidone, tylenol can be taken to reduce fever,do steam inhalations, warm saline gargles and use a humidifier in his room..If there is congestion decongestant nasal sprays like Phenylephrine can help..Do saline nasal irrigations and use a steroid nasal spray.Avoid chilled and spicy food, drink plenty of warm fluids and take ample of rest..Hope this information helps..Thanks and regards.Dr. Honey Nandwani Arora.
