What Causes Sinus,terrible Migraine And Vaginal Discharge?
Hello, I have had a sinus infection for 8 days now - I've been rinsing daily with a neti pot, I've been using nasal spray and using some sinus pills to relieve the pressure and started taking echinacea and goldenseal yesterday after reading recommendations from a dr in Boulder. Yesterday I had a terrible migraine and purged everything out of my system and today I noticed that I have a white/translucent stringy vaginal discharge. I realize my body is trying to heal itself, however am wondering if there is cause for more concern...

Hello and thank you for your question.
Your migraine could have been caused by the sinus inflammation. It sounds like you are doing the correct treatments for your sinus congestion. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water and taking extra vitamin C as well. If you are not having pelvic pain, vaginal itching or burning then I would not be concerned in the vaginal discharge changes. It is probably just your body reacting to all the inflammation. If that changes and you develop pain, itching or burning then see a doctor for a pelvic exam.
Regards
