Can Elevated Creatinine Level Be Related To Sinus Infection?
An ENT specialist that I saw told me that I have a deviated septum. I notice that I often have problems with my sinus and have nasal drip every now and then. Right now, I'm having this sinus pain and also, my blood pressure has been elevated for several days since I started to have this sinus pain. I haven't taken any relief medication yet. I have a history of elevated creatinine early this year which has normalized gradually and it is now WNL. I'm afraid to take pain meds but I remember that my nephrologist told me to never ever take Ibupropen but it's OK to take Tylenol. Is there a Tylenol relief specifically for sinus or is just a regular Tylenol pain reliever OK? Is there a connection between this deviated septum sinus pain and high blood pressure? Pls. help.
