Suggest Remedy For Sinus Infection
Hi. My son has never really been sick other than a mild case of the sniffles. I m sure it isn t anything too bad, but he has a runny nose, sneezing and tonight ran a fever of 100.4. I could tell he was sick - you can see it in his eyes that he doesn t feel good. I gave him ibuprofen. I m guessing a sinus infection. How do I keep it from turning into bronchitis? I had a bad sinus infection about 6 months ago along with bronchitis so I just want to keep that from happening.

Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.
I went through the history you have provided here. It seems from the history that you are having running nose, sneezing, fever...
These symptoms indicate upper respiratory tract infection in the form of sinusitis.
This requires treatment by the use of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs and decongestants.
Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory drug and along with this you need to give antibiotic and decongestant drugs.
Do consult your doctor for examination to confirm the diagnosis and treatment accordingly.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Wishing you a good health.
Thank you
