Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, I have had sinus issues/ been sick for approx. 8 days. Symptoms started with scratchy raw throat and sinus pressure. Got slightly better and then about 5 days into it i had fever 100.1, and everything went to chest developed hard rattling cough. Started taking mucinex and sudafed, coughs started producing mucus. I have been home from work sinc last friday. I have gotten better but still not well enough. I keep having a slight fever about 99.1 once-2x daily and tylenol breaks it. I am not coughing nearly as much now and have very runny nose and some sinus pressure again. I am in an insurance transition period and dont want to go to dr unless ansolutely need to. If this is flu i know that cant do anything than what i am already doing. Do you think i need to waste money on going to dr

How Can Sore Throat And Sinusitis Be Treated?
Hello, The Mucinex, Tylenol, and Sudafed drugs are appropriate to help with your symptoms along with rest and fluids. Unfortunately, it can take up to 2 weeks for improvement to be seen. If you are not worsening, you can continue your home treatment. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Michelle Gibson James
