What causes sinus pressure and excessive sleepiness after an episode of pneumonia?
Answered by
I got up and ate dinner but tonight I am again fighting to stay awake. I saw my Doctor yesterday, she did a blood test.
Thank you,

Some more information would be very helpful
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for asking at healthcaremagic.
I carefully read your question.
Do you have fever with the sinus pain? How long ago did you finish the antibiotics for pneumonia? Do you remember the name of the medication?
You seem to be doing the right things by using salt water rinse and mucinex. I would recommend you to continue these.
When will you have the results of the blood tests? Would be good to have the results.
Do you use other medications for flu symptoms? Some of them contain antihistamines and that can make you more sleepy. If you are using some other over the counter tablets please let me know.
Please reply to this message with the answers to the above questions.
Waiting to hear from you.
Kind regards,
Antoneta Zotaj, MD

MD Yes. I am allergic to sulfa drugs. I have swelling of ankles and legs and rash bumps with terrible itching. Saw my dr on Friday and he thought it was from my connective tissue disease. Well today is sat and swelling is down but itch is still bad and nothing I try stops the itch. The only thing different I m taking is mucinex and I m allergic to sulfa. I have takin before and no problems but got the dm max this time. Ugh. Help
MD Hi. My Daughter has a cough and rash on her forehead (tiny bumps) no fever, no itch no pain no other symptoms. Plays well, eats well and sleeps well. She has been taking Claritin for spring allergies and started on mucinex yesterday to keep her cough loose. I m puzzled by the tiny bumps on her forehead. The community pool just opened this past week so could it be the pool water?
MD Hi, I'm 20 years old and experiencing severely sharp pain in my ear that travels down to my neck and across my face. I can't hear in that ear either. This began about 6 days ago after getting a thorough ear cleaning from my ENT. I went to the emergency room 2 nights ago and the doctor there could not treat me. Although he did give me ear drops, mucinex D, amoxycillin and pain medicine. None of it has helped at all. Is there any home remedy to help alleviate the pain until I can go back to my ENT tomorrow? Do I have an ear infection and was it caused by the deep cleaning?
MD I have had a low grade fever (99.1-100.3) for 3 days, accompanied with a cough that feels like it burns in the upper part of my chest when I do so. Just today I noticed a white coating on my tongue. I ve just been taking OTC Mucinex D and iburophen off and on. Should I be concerned about the white tongue?
