What Is The Treatment For Sinus Infection , Bronchitis And Asthma?
I was diagnosed 5 days ago with sinus infection & bronchitis. Have been taking a strong antibiotic since. Sinus problems much better but still residual and still have some wheezing and chest tightness. I have a compromised immune system due to meds for RA and Sjogrens. I also have mild asthma. Due to fly out tomorrow - wonder if its wise.

Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum
Ideally, you are not supposed to fly when you are having an Upper respiratory tract infection (such as sinusitis & flu). If it is very necessary, you can follow few measures such as:
1. To do steam inhalation before you leave your house to the airport
2. Use xylometazoline or oxymetazoline nasal spray 1 hour before the flight journey.
3. Finally, continue rest of the medicines
Wish you good health
Regards
