Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have severe hay fever/sinus. I have some Zyrtec and am checking to see if I can take it to perhaps help to relieve symptoms. My sinuses are infected and I am taking aintibiotics. I also take BP medication so I am wary of taking other drugs, but these symptoms have been with me for two weeks. Debilitating!!
For that paranasal sinus x ray done If needed to rule out sinusitis
Auscultation and CBC should be done....
If needed throat swab taken to choose proper medication For ex.. If influenza confirmed and no improvement with symptomatic management than oseltamivir given If severe allergy than short term steroid given...
Steam inhalation done two times a day with added eucalyptus oil in hot water
Drink more water
Diluted betardine gargles done that act as antiseptic Excess spicy foods and smoking avoided ..
Keep dust exposure minimum...
Take care
Consult physician for your examination....
