Hello Dr. I m suffering with a bad case of sinusitis, a terrible cough and possibly strep throat. I ve taken 2 Norco 5. mg pills and a 12 hour extra strength mucinex along with 12 hour afrin nose spray. Can I take Benadryl with these meds? Also I have Delsym 12 hour cough syrup?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe sinusitis and cough which is due to chronic upper respiratory tract infection. I would suggest you to take nasal sprays and do warm saline gargles. You should take antibiotic Levofloxacin in combination with antiallergic medication Levocetrizine. Avoid cold carbonated beverages.You can take benadryl and cough syrup as well. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get paranasal sinus x-ray done and start treatment after proper prescription. Avoid oily and sharp food. Drink plenty of fluids.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
