Suggest Treatment For Chest Congestion, Head Congestion And Sinus Problems
I had the nasty crud for about two weeks. Its started around the 21st of February. Chest congestion, head congestion. typical. I took mucinex and other over the counter things to relieve the symptoms and it slowly went away. I never had a fever. It has taken awhile to get rid of all the crud (chest and head) but I started back to the gym this week. The last couple of days my sinuses have been killing me. I can breath perfectly fine with no congestion but behind my eyes hurt and my sinuses hurt when I breathe. It s almost like a cold feeling when I breathe through my nose even though it s not cold air I am breathing.. Is this something I should see a doctor about? Thank you!.
Hi Yes,you might have sinusitis with upper respiratory tract infection or bronchitis which actually causes this mucus or sputum.
You can do some routine blood tests with sputum examination and X- ray to have confirmed diagnosis.
You should be given oral antibiotics (quinolones or macrolides or cephalosporins) in full course for about 7 days with bronchodilators (beta agonists, anticholinergics) and nebulizers with steam inhalation to get rid off complete infection from throat or chest.
