Suggest treatment for sinus infection
Patient: Been on antibiotics because I felt exhausted, just couldn t think, yawned a lot, lots of sinus drainage, runny nose and eyes once in awhile, some wheezing and coughed up fluid once. Now feel better after being on antibiotics for 5 days (one dose left), have a bit more energy until I stand up, have an intermittent dry cough, feel the need to yawn, wheezed a lot today so used an inhaler today, chest feels tight. Just coughed and felt really dizzy...was sitting down fortunately. Thanks...I don t have $15.00... Doctor: For sinus infection you have to take some antibiotic such as Cap Ampoxin 500 mg or Tab Augmentin 625 mg three times daily after meals with Tab Wikoryl or Tab Diominic-dca three times daily after meals for running nose with Tab Rantac or Tab Famotid two times daily empty stomach. If running nose is very severe than you can use Otrivin or Nasoclear nasal drops. Another thing what you have to do is to take steam inhalation at least three to four times daily. It is very important in case of sinus infection. You have to be careful enough because if you are not following the instructions properly it will progress to chronic sinusitis which is somewhat more troublesome and irritative.
