Could Heavy Cough Have Been Caused By Sinusitis?
Hello, My 20 yr old daughter has had a heavy cough and upper respiratory infection. She was prescribed Augmentin Forte. She has been on it for 3 days, but has had quite severe headaches. Is there a possibility this is a side effect, or is it more likely to be sinusitis causing it? It seems to affect the whole head.

Hi dear..first to say to treat sinusitis you must keep patience and headache is a symptom of sinusitis only. I advise you follow
1) Take tab Augmentin 625 mg once a day for 7 days
2) Tab. PCM for headache twice a day
3) Steam inhalation with solvin vasocaps twice a day
4) Hot water gargles with povidine iodine
twice a day
5) Keep yourself hydrated.
6) Tab. cetrizine if you have running nose
Thanks and regards
