I have been sick (sinus and allergies) for about 3 weeks. Saw doc last week for increased sinus fluid that would not drain. Was prescribed flonase, claritin and z-pack. After a week, I was not better. Still having ear pain from fluid, throat and tonsils inflamed with lots of white stuff on them. Given a dose of prednisone for 5 days. Today is day 2 and my throat looks worse, Im coughing continuously and I now have a blood spot on my gums.
