Suffering From Sinus Infection, Throat Infection And Pneumonia For 2 Months.
I have been sick going on 2 months now. 1st it was a sinus infection, uri, dehydrated , and a infection in my throat it eventually turned into pneumonia . Felt a little better after about 8 days finished all my meds and a week later I m back to chest hurting sinuses are hurting and really bad cough that it hurts to cough. I have been to the dr 5 times now. At what point do I go to the ER? I m not sure what to do I have been struggling with sinus problems for about 6 months but this is the worst yet??

Hi,
Please consult a good ENT specialist. Till then do steam inhalations 2-3 times/day, drink plenty of warm water and use saline nasal drops 3-4 times/day. If you are a non-vegetarian try drinking warm chicken soup with little pepper, this will give nourishment as well reduce the sinus problems.
