3rd Trimester

I think I have a sinus infection

Will they give me anything?  I'm 6 days away from my due date!  I wake up with a sore throat, my sinuses ache and are full, and I'm starting to cough.  I've gotten the same thing every year since I was in junior high...I know the symptoms, I know that I need amoxocilian (sp?) to get better.  But will they give me something like that now?  I hate these anyway, I can't imagine trying to deliver a baby with one.

Ugh.  I'm calling today...

Re: I think I have a sinus infection

  • I had one in my second trimester (NASTY one at that) and they gave me antibiotics.  I am sooooo glad I did it.

     They also told me I could take a couple different OTC things to help with the symptoms, but I only took 1 of them at night a couple times.  I hate taking anything while pregnant unless I REALLY need to.

  • Most sinus infections are viral anyway, so an antibiotic won't help. Do you have a neti pot? I would try rinsing to clear out some of the pressure.
