Prescribed With Cefuroxine For Sinus Infection. Feeling Sick Along With Headache. Could I Stop Taking The Medicine?
Question: Hi, Doctor, I have been prescribed Cefuroxine for a sinus infection for 10days. I have 3 days left. Can I stop taking them now? Feel sick with headache.
XXXXXXX
Brief Answer:
Yes, you can stop the medicine
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
I have read your query and understand your concerns.
If you are feeling better with the sinus infection now, you can go ahead and stop the medicine.
You have taken the course of 7 days, and that should suffice ideally.
Meanwhile, continue to do steam inhalation twice daily to feel better with the headache.
Take care!
