Suggest Treatment For Fever And Headache
good day Dr
i would have gone to the hospital now, but today being Sunday i just have to wait till tomorrow, but as a medical student the little knowledge i have i suspect i have sinusitis...i have fever,headaches, little blunt pain around my right cheek bone, the mucus from my right nostril stinks like rotten egg..... i smoke cigarettes regularly, and i smoke marijuana like 3-4 times daily. some of my friends say that nicotine is really really bad for sinusitis and i believe them and i have already stopped, but i dont want to believe that marijuana is also the same situation.

Thanks to HCM
I can understand your concern
Sinusitis is aggravated by smoking ,exposure to cold environment and cold items .
so try to avoid theses things my dear
moreover now you need to take antipyretics like paracetamol 5oo mg thrice daily along with antihistamincs like cetrigine 10mg once daily ,
plz use nasal drops if there is nasal blockage
inhale steam or vapour from boiled water as it relieves ur headache .making feeling of light
don't worry be away from bad habits whch spoil your health ,you should be ideal to others being a medical student . ok
