How Can Fever And Sinusitis Be Treated?

I have severe hay fever/sinus. I have some Zyrtec and am checking to see if I can take it to perhaps help to relieve symptoms. My sinuses are infected and I am taking aintibiotics. I also take BP medication so I am wary of taking other drugs, but these symptoms have been with me for two weeks. Debilitating!!

Hi welcome to health care magic

You are having upper respiratory tract infection...

For that paranasal sinus x ray done If needed to rule out sinusitis

Auscultation and CBC should be done....

If needed throat swab taken to choose proper medication
For ex.. If influenza confirmed and no improvement with symptomatic management than oseltamivir given
If severe allergy than short term steroid given...

Steam inhalation done two times a day with added eucalyptus oil in hot water

Drink more water

Diluted betardine gargles done that act as antiseptic
Excess spicy foods and smoking avoided ..

Keep dust exposure minimum...

Take care

Consult physician for your examination....
