Should I see go see Dr.?

I think I may be on the verge of a sinus infection.  I have sneezing, coughing, sinus pressure, stuffy ears, swollen lymph nodes in throat, etc. 

If I go see my doctor is there anything I can take or will it just end up being a waste of time and my co- pay?

You can try a compromise of calling your doctor and telling them what's going on.  They might just order you a prescription for something over the phone and save you both the time.

I had what sounds just like that a month or two ago, except add double ear infection.  They put me on amoxicillin and told me to take Tylenol cold and Claritin.

I hope you feel better!!

Have you tried some natural remedies first? Neti Pot twice a day, gargling salt water, tylenol, steamy shower to help clear out your lungs. 

I would do that for a day and see if it helps any. If not, I'd call the doctor.

it's dangerous to let an infection go without meds, not to mention feeling miserable.  there are safe antibiotics, take them!

Thanks, ladies.  This is my first time being sick while pg and I didn't realize there would be a safe anti-biotic for me to take. Making the phone call to dr. now...
