Suggest Treatment For Sinus Drainage And Cough While On Robitussin

Posted on Thu, 4 Feb 2016

Question: I have seasonal allergies and this year has been especially bad for leaf mold so I take sertec prophetically, however I stopped approximately 1 week ago when the weather turned cold & dry. Over New years I as with family, several of whom had stuffy noses. I was having a problem with sinus drainage and a slight, not always productive. So I began taking Robitussin CF twice a day (morning & night) and XXXXXXX Seltzer Cold in the middle of the day.

I don't cough, I sleep well and am able to work, however, I feel like I am walking through a fog/about to fall asleep any minute.... any ideas?

Brief Answer:
You are sleepy and having all symptoms due to viral infection.

Detailed Answer:

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.

In my opinion, your all symptoms are due to viral infection spread by your family members.

Mostly this viral infection is worsening your allergies too.

So better to take antihistamine and anti inflammatory drugs. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.

Do steam inhalation 4-5 times a day. Also do warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.

Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.

Wish you good health.
Thanks.
