Suggest Antibiotics For Back Pain With Breathing Issues

hi, suffering from aching back and neck, headache all over, sinusitis symptoms....hard to breathe especially at night.....2nd bout in 2 months.....debilitating because of tiredness .......I have been swimming in chlorinated indoor pool for 5 consecutive days leading up to this bout......would this trigger the bout and would antibiotics work?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having acute respiratory tract infection giving rise generalized body ache, malaise, headache, fatigue.
Swimming in chlorinated water might have precipitated the infection.
A course of antibiotic for 5 days will give good relief from your all symptoms as it will clear the infection.
Meanwhile take Ibuprofen, paracetamol combination and decongestant to give you symptomatic relief from all symptoms.
Take plenty of water.
Take complete rest.
Ok and take care.
