Is Tylenolcod Effective For Sinus Infections?

I have been suffering with a terrible sinus infection and am taking Amoxcillin 500mg 4x a day...the bones in my face hurt and have been for about a week now. My doctor gave me tylenolcod#3. My question. I took 2 reg tylenol about 1 hr ago. When would it be safe to take the tylenolcod#3. He recommended I take 1/2...but I will take 1/4 and see how that does...I do not like to take meds...thanks

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Tylenol is the paracetamol.

It is very safe drug. It is prescribed for the mild pain and fever. So if you take it whole tablet it will not cause any side effects to you.

For sinus infections you should take the proper antibiotic that can cure you. Without complete antibiotics treatment it can reappear.

Please maintain good local hygiene by dressing and frequent cleaning. Oral gargle with hexidine can also help.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
