What Is The Best Medicine For Sinus And Cold?

Can I take Aleve-D Sinus and Cold, which contains naproxen sodium (22mg) and Pseudophedrine HCl (120mg) along with the Amoxicillin I was prescribed for my ear infection? I have tremendous pressure, pain, runny eyes and nose. I have had symptoms for the past 3 days and went to the Dr. on the third day and was diagnosed with an ear infection (I thought was maybe a sinus infection, which is why I started taking the Aleve D, to relieve symptoms until I was able to see a professional))
Thanks

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that although you are diagnosed with ear infection the symptoms of congestion, runny and stuffy nose and pressure and pain are all due to sinus infection and for both the conditions taking amoxicillin, aleve D is suitable and along with it you can also take saline nasal irrigations, decongestant nasal spray like otrivin or nasivion, do steam inhalations and do warm compresses around nose..
Antibiotic ear drops can also help.
Sip plenty of warm water throughout the day..
Avoid chilled foods.

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
