Suggest Treatment For Severe Sinus Infection And Nausea
3 days after my ended my period my boyfriend and I did some things and some of his semen cam in contact with the exterior of my vagina. Now to go on I developed a severe sinus infection and was prescribed amoxicillin and my stomach began to hurt worse and create strange eating habits and nausea would hit with smells smelling worse. I am also under alot of stress at school and my doctor told me that amoxicillin could cause these side effects as well as breast tenderness with which i am experiencing (I am also on birth control). I know these symptoms of pregnancy but that was only a week and half ago that we happened with my boyfriend. Do you think I am just over reacting and with the stress birth control and side effects of my sinus infection and antibiotic are creating these or is there any chance I could be pregnant? There was no penetration so we are just confused and worried.

Hello Dear. If you are sure you did not have penetrating sex then the chances of getting pregnant is nullified. But in case you have any doubts you can get a urine pregnancy test (UPT) done. UPT kits will be available in medical stores.
Since you are under stress it could be gastritis also which is causing your symptoms of nausea. I will tell you few tips to overcome gastritis.
1. Do not eat spicy food
2. Take medications without fail as prescribed by your doctor
3. Take little food at frequent intervals. Breakfast around 8am, small snack at 11am, lunch at 1pm, small snack at 4pm and dinner at 8pm
4. Drink plenty of water
5. Do not take much of stress. Stress aggravates gastritis
6. Do regular exercise. Atleast half an hour per day
7. Learn meditation techniques
8. Follow this regularly for 21 days. It is said that anything you practice regularly for 21 days becomes a habit
For sinus infection you can take a course of antibiotics as prescribed by your doctor and steam inhalation. Put some vicks vapor rub in hot water and inhale the steam. Gargle with salt in hot water. You should be fine by them. Follow all these things i suggested.
Hope i have answered your question. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. I ll be glad to help you.
All the best
With warm regards
