Hello,

As per my clinical experience, the Sudafed is containing Pseudophedrine used as decongestant medication in various allergy, respiratory tract and sinus infection related issues. You can consume this tablet with amoxicillin and prednisolone as there will not be any side effects with this.

Additional guidelines for better recovery:
- Deep breathing exercises
- Meditations and YOGA
- Keeping ears plugged with sterile cotton
- Avoiding exposure to noxious or high intensity sounds
- Control of blood sugar to avoid flare of infection

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
