How To Treat For Sinus Infection?
2 nights ago I had a 102.7 fever with a very sore throat and swollen glands. I went to the Dr. the next day & was told I have a sinus infection. I started meds and later that night I had a stringy discharge coming out of my left eye all night. In the morning I woke up with a crusted eyelid I had to pry open & still had a fever. My face hurt so bad. I hadn t had a runny nose so I tried to blow my nose and out came something that looks and feels like chicken skin. It is solid and large with no odor. I also suffer from allergies so I m used to discolored mucus. This is so gross. Now everything on the right side of my face hurts. Is this normal?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understamding your concern. As per your query you are suffering from sinus infection which is leading to sinusitis / granular pharyngitis. You need not to worry about it. You should visit pENT specialist once and get paranasal sinus X-ray done to check extent and level of infection. You should start medication once diagnosis is made out. You should drink plenty of water. You should take antobiotic for 5 days. Take anti inflammatory drugs such as Sinarest along with this. You should put nasal sprays in nostris. Avoid use of cold liquid substances. Take steam inhalation Apply mist humidifiers in room. Avoid oily food. Take diet rich in multivitamins. You should gargle 2-3 times daily.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
