Suggest Treatment For Chronic Fatigue And Headache Post Sinus Infection

I've been sick since late Oct/early Nov. On Dec 26th I started treatment for acute sinus infection. The first round of antibiotics helped, the 2nd round made me feel a little better. I've never really gotten back to feeling good. Chronic fatigue is now just fatigue and my headache though now lowgrade has never gone away. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired! I work 2 jobs and have not missed 1 day, I just keep pushing on. What could possibly last so long?? Never had a fever or chills or anything like that. Some achiness, nothing major. It takes a lot before I even make a fuss, but I'm really tired of feeling poorly....thanks, Carol

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you have lingering symptoms of sinusitis and the symptoms and fatigue are also due to it..

I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like PNS View x ray can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..

You can be advised to take another course of antibiotics like Amoxicillin, anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, decongestants like Pseudoephadrine..
Saline nasal irrigation, steam inhalations and using a humidifier in your room will help..
You can also be advised steroid nasal sprays..
Take multivitamin supplements to improve the nutrition level of body..
Chew a Vitamin C pellet to boost immunity..
Take sufficient rest..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
