Can I Take Motrin For Throat Pain During A Sinus Infection?

I was diagnosed yesterday with a sinus infection. I developed a cough last night and am taking Phenergan with codeine. Now, when I take a deep breath or cough, what I THINK is my windpipe, hurts a lot. Will something like Motrin be ok to take for this?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that de to sinus infection there is a post nasal drip leading to tickling in throat and it is leading to coughing bouts and vigorousing can cause traumatic injuries to the delicate structures along with muscle stretching leading to pain..
I would suggest you that you can take Motrin in this regard to relieve pain..
On the other hand you should also take cough syrups containing Dextromethorphan and Gueifenesin and it will help in relieving cough which is the main culprit..
You should also do warm saline gargles and steam inhalations..
Avoid spicy and chilled foods..
Take a soft diet..
Take sufficient rest and avoid speaking loudly or shouting..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
