What Do Fever And Diarrhea While On Treatment For Sinusitis Suggest?

Diarrhea in because of Augmentin...
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for posting the query
The diarrhea following intake of Augmentin is a common side effect of this drug. Do not worry! Once you stop the antibiotic, the diarrhea will stop. You need to take probiotic to help in restoring the flora of the gastro-intestinal tract.
My suggestions to you are:
1. Stop the antibiotic. Get back to your doctor and request for a change in the antibiotic (probably cephalosporins)
2. Drink lots of warm water. Warm water relieves the nasal and throat congestion.
3. Do steam inhalation 2-3 times a day for at least 2 min. Steam does the same function as no. 2.
4. Use saline nasal spray, to relieve the nasal congestion and easy clearing of the sinus secretions.
Hope this answers your query; Revert back to me if you have any follow-up queries.
