Suggest Remedy For Sinus Infection, Sore Throat And Cough

I went to Texas tech Amarillo to see a resident doctor about a bad sinus infection I have had them before. Im 51 and know by now whats up.... The doctor brushed me off gave me no meds and sent me home which is 120 miles. I came back 8 days later its in my chest, throat and another resident gave me a zpak and now is trying to diagnose me with Copd or something. I all ready seen a pulmonary doctor, I don t have Copd I do Have sleep apnea and Apoxia from my weight. now my lungs sound like a motor and I have no voice. I still cough when I exhale and have sore throat. I must be well in a week/ oh I forgot to mention that after my sinus infection I baby sat a sick baby with a cold.

hi....it seems your upper respiratory tract infection has progressed to a bad Lower respiratory problem and etiology being your sinus infection.first of all you take strict voice rest and steam inhalation to improve your voice and sinus. second you should start with a broad spectrum antibiotic , mucolytic ,antihistaminics and low dose steroids. you will get response soon.you can also take paracetamol for fever and pain if required. start with xylometazoline nose drops to relieve congestion.
