Are Sinus Pressure And Running Rose Related To Sinus Infection?
Hello, my wife and i both have sinus pressure, chills, cough, running nose and some general ashiness. She has indicated that her throat is bothering her but I suspect that is drainage. I thought I was suffering a sinus infection until she started having symptoms today.

Hi
Thanks for the query.
Chronic as well as repeated nasal/pharyngel infection can lead to sinusitis, which is responsible for the sinus pressure and other symptoms you mentioned.
Please do culture ans sensitivity reports of nasal swab to start proper antibiotic course. By the time reports come, you can take OTC drugs levocetrizine for running nose and ibuprofen for sinus pain. Take steam inhalation to clear nasal and pharyngeal secretions, it will also help to drain sinus fluid.
