Suggest Treatment For Cough And Sinus Infection

I have a cough that started in May with a cold and is still hanging on. I also had a sinus infection a few weeks ago. I ve also been feeling a lot of aches, especially in my lower back and sides. I am exhausted by mid day and feel like I have to nap, but I am too tired to do anything physical without really pushing myself. I m tired of not feeling good. . .

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of cough and sinus infection which means you are suffering from upper respiratory tract infection and it is leading to condition known as sinusitis.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to

- Take antihistamines and antibiotic combination as infection is present.

- Take steam inhalation and take nasal decongestant sprays.

- Do warm saline gargles.

- Avoid intake of outside food.

Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and go for para-nasal sinus X ray and start treatment accordingly. You can go to get puncture and drainage of sinus and sinus reconstruction if required.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
