Suggest Treatment For Sinus Infection

I have been treated for a sinus infection as of Friday with antibiotics. Now I also am coughing a lot! The cough starts with tickle/irritation in throat from drainage, then spirals into bad cough, it hurts and I am gasping for air. What can I do to help this and breathe ok?

Hi, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of upper respiratory tract infection, I would just tell that it is not only sinuses it has involved your upper food canal, larynx/air way, tonsils and regional lymph nodes also!
The symptoms are related to post nasal drips and mucosal edema.

I would suggest some home remedies and medicines also!

1. hot saline gargle as much possible

2. massage hot mustard oil in your soles of feet

3. antiallergics like desloratadine/cetirizine

4. antibiotics like azithromycin

5. good nutrition / vitamins and warmth

6. do not blow nose just squeeze it when necessary!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
