Posted on Wed, 11 Feb 2015
Question: I'm still having sinus pain, fatigue, nausea and headaches despite 10 days of amoxicillian, 5 days of prednisone, 7 days of augmentum + flunase spray, sudafed, ibuprophen, neti pot, humidifiers for home and office, and trying to increase fluid intake. The symptoms have been going on for over a month. What should be my next step?

Brief Answer:
Followup

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the query,

Would request a consult with an ENT specialist.

You may need a CT scan of the sinuses and if this shows thickening of sinus tissue and retained fluid, the specialist may recommend a procedure to help drain the sinuses.

For now would recommend you seek a specialist referral for further evaluation.
