How Long Will It Take To Get Relief With Z-pak For Ear Pain And Sore Throat?
Iwas just put on Z-Pak yesterday for tightness in chest when breathing , ear pain and sore throat. Blood pressure was good ,no fever although I did get a fever blister 3 days ago when this started. Does this sound to you that it is sinusitis as dr told me??? How long will the 5 pack Z-Pack take to give relief ?

Hi,
It seems that you might be having upper respiratory tract infection.
After starting antibiotic medicine it takes about 2-3 days to give its effect.
Continue with antibiotic.
Meanwhile take some analgesic, decongestant medicine for 2-3 days.
Ok and take care.
