Suggest Treatment For Sinus Infection,coughing,nasal Congestion
I have been having sinus infection like symptoms for 2-3 days now. Sore throat (no spots), coughing, nasal congestion, etc. I have been taking Sudafed for temporary relief but it always comes back. I just took my temperature and it was 96 degrees. Do I need to go to urgent care or continue taking Sudafed until it goes away?

hello,
your given history is typically suggestive of sinus infection.
sudafed you took is a decongestant, it relieves your sore throat and nasal congestion uptil the effect is on.
i suggest you should try with some good antibiotics.
it would cure your infection and would relieve the condition.
meanwhile your should take some decongestant, pain killer and anti histaminic to decrease the symptoms.
steam inhalation is also quite beneficial in such condition.
merely taking sudafed wont help.
thanks
regards
