What Is The Treatment For Painful Sinuses?
Hi Doctor, I suffer from severe dust allergies. I always have a cold, dull ache in my sinuses and an itch in my ears and throat. A doctor told me to take Avil 25 twice daily. I started talking it today and after taking the qst dose itself felt extremely drowsy and sleepy. Kindly advise!

Hello
The prescription is correct and you should take your medications , it will help. Drowsiness is a known side effect of Avil and will definitely occur.
Instead of avil ,you can try tab cetrizine 10 mg at night , this will cause lesser sedation and drowsiness.
Thanks
