How Can Sore Throat And Sinusitis Be Treated?

My son has a severe sore throat, extreme sinus drainage and was prescribed cephalexion last wednesday and no improvement and is getting pressure in ears now. Dr. prescribed Vibra today. His girlfriend was just diagnosed with strep throat and ear infection. Will the Vibra prescription solve the condition?

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

As per your complain it seems that your son might have a viral infection leading to sore throat and sinus drainage along with pressure in ears..
It can also be due to Sinusitis..

As far as vibration is concerned it contains active ingredient Doxycycline that is an antibiotic and can be helpful if bacterial infection is the diagnosis..

I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation
and investigations like throat swab culture,PNS view x ray of sinuses can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
You can be advised a course of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, decongestants
like Pseudoephadrine, antihistamine like Levocetrizine,do saline nasal irrigation, steam inhalation and use a humidifier in your room..
You can also be advised decongestant nasal sprays containing Xylometazoline or Oxymetazoline..
Avoid spicy and chilled foods..
Do warm compresses around nostrils..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
I find this answer helpful
