What Causes Painful Joints And Muscles While Suffering From Sinus Infection?
I have a problem with sinus infections and when they go untreated with antibiotics , I start to have muscle and joint pain with some swelling in my hands and feet. I do not like to take antibiotics a lot because of becoming immune to the germs causing this problem. after taking them i feel great for about a month and then the problem comes back. I just wonder if there is anything on the market that will alleviate this problem . I do not have this muscle or joint inflammatory problem until the sinus infection happens. Thanks in advance for your response. Ed Hughes YYYY@YYYY

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, sinusitis can be well treated with conservative management may not need any antibiotic because, this is allergic in constitution and not infection (most of the times) and the best drug would be "Tab Loratadine with Pseudoephedrine" three times in day, drink more water, have steam inhalation, Hope this information helps, take care.
