Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Fatigue And Shortness Of Breath After The Treatment Of Sinusitis?
I had sinus infection 2 weeks ago. Had cough...headache. Treated with prednisone and antibiotic. Head congestion went away as well as cough. I m left with shortness of breath...weakness all over body doing my normal activities. I have chest pain...pain around to back. Feel like a rubber band is around me. Dr heard some sound in lungs when examined and diagnosed with sinus infection. I had finished my meds, then had major diarrhea 1 day. I m too fatigued to stand long enough to cook a meal. I feel kinda like a virus. After doing a small chore have to lay down or sit down because of bad shortness of breathe. Not sure what to do at this point. I was going to go to urgent care this afternoon but they closed at 4pm before I could get there.

Hi,
Antibiotic therapy can give diarrhoea. Taking probiotics or yogurt and bananas is good for this. Corticosteroids (Prednisone) can give the other mentioned symptoms also. Taking vitamin C and plain fluids will be helpful.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nishad BN, General & Family Physician
