Suggest Treatment For Blocked Sinuses And Productive Cough
Question: Can't breathe through my nose. Sinuses totally blocked. Mucus yellow. Productive cough. Nausea. What is it?
Brief Answer:
You need antibiotics for this!
Detailed Answer:
HI and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about your symptoms. I have reviewed them fully and this is suggestive of the fact that you have a bacterial infection. With bacterial infections, an antibiotic is needed to control the symptoms. Unfortunately, antibiotics cannot be obtained OTC and you will need to talk to your prescribing doctor to get a prescription for this. In most cases, amoxicillin for 5-7days is okay alongside these other medications.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
