How Can Sinusitis Along With Blurred Vision And Neck Pain Be Treated?

Took tylylenol, still very painful what should I do until I can get to dr or dc in the am? Thank you.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your symptoms it can be due to Sinus infection or sinusitis. Blurring of vision and headache can be due to Sinus infection as there are large sinuses present behind the eyes. So my suggestion is to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated. A clinical examination and investigation like sinus x ray can help in confirmation. If there is sinus infection you can be advised antibiotics and pain killers like Motrin. Also use decongestant nasal drops like Otrivin. Do steam inhalations with saline nasal irrigation. Do warm saline gargles. Drink warm water. Chew a vitamin c pellet daily.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Honey Arora
