Suggest Treatment For Sinuses Infection And Overweight
I am recovering from a pretty severe attack of sphincter of oddi dysfunction which began Thursday night. It is the first time this has happened to me since I had my gallbladder removed 34 years ago. I am 63, female, 5'5",about 30 lbs overweight. I usually watch my fat intake, but I overdid it this past week and I am paying a painful price for it. My almost life-long allergies are acting up because of the humid weather in my locale. Can I take Claritin while I'm still recovering from an attack of SOD? My sinuses are really bothering me. I feel as if my body will be back to normal within another 24-48 hrs. re the SOD. I am living on a clear liquid, low-fat diet right now. I don't want to upset my progress.
Thanks for posting you query to health care magic. As I understand you are suffering from sinus inflammation as per your opinion it is allergic in nature .I would like to suggest you that once you should be examined by ENT surgeon to rule out cause of this inlammation as some times secondary infection sets in and produces sever probelem. Clatrin is a suppressive treatment option for allergic sinusitis but it will not cure your probelem .SOD do not affect with Clatrin so you can take this medicine . For your SOD you should also contact to Gastric surgeon he will treat you accordingly . Hope you would be satisfied with my answer . Feel free to communicate if any query . regards, Dr.Manish Purohit Infectious disease specialist
