  • Tmi but also had lots of diareah today not sure if thts part of infection?
  • I wouldn't take anything without talking with your doctor. I had a sinus infection last week and its starting to get better on its own. But you want your doctor to know what's going on. Make an appointment with your normal doctor.

  • i just got over a cold. I had a runny/stuffy nose, sore throat, and sinus pressure. The doctor told me to take sudafed (not sure if i spelt that right) and then i was allowed to take chloraseptic for my sore throat. I got better in about 7 days
  • How far along are you? If out of 1st trimester you can take sudafed, claritin or benadryl.
  • You can take Claritin (loratadine) not the one with the decongestant though. Or benadryl. Those will help with your symptoms. Your doctor probably needs to call in an antibiotic.
  • What I did I had a bad sinus infection tryed to shake it w antihistamine from walgreens the generic and it helped but not clearing the infection ask ur doc for an antibiotic its safe I was taking amoxicillen or how ever u spell it and it worked
  • I'm 30.4 weeks and have a sinus infection for my entire pregnancy... Nothing worked I took everything that is allowed even was prescribed amoxcillin on two different occasions... I'm still stuck with the drainage.. my infection has been so bad that I no longer have my voice.. its scratchy.. I pray it goes back normal
  • I'm in my 33week Dr got upset cause I called medical line not scedual desk no one told me I didn't think it was that serious but as long as my temp stays below 101 then I wait for my Dr appointment in am. I was told to take benedrl until then....ugh I feel like shit
