Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
It sounds like you have sinusitis. The following measures would help:
a. Tablet Allegra 180 mg one tablet once daily for 5 days
b. Tablet Tylenol 1 tablet every 6 hours for 2-3 days
c. Tablet Benadryl 50 mg twice daily for 5 days. This will make you sleepy. So make sure you're not driving or handling any machinery at this time.
d. Steam inhalation and gargling with warm water will also help
If it does not improve within 3-4 days, please see your physician. You would then need a prescription for an antibiotic.
I hope I have addressed your concerns
Let me know if you have more questions
Regards.
