Med question

Tempus · February 2011

Well, I think the cold I started out with has turned into a sinus infection cause when I blow my nose it's green(TMI I know) and I've been told that is a sign of infection. Plus, my sinuses hurt like hell. And the headaches off and on for the last few days too. Now, I know what to take for the headache and sinus pain. And I know for a cold I can take Sudafed or even Benadryl. But I'm not sure what sinus meds I can take to take care of the nasal congestion and sinus pressure. And of course it's the weekend so OB is closed so can't ask them. Your input would be appreciated ladies. TIA

if it is a sinus infection, which it sounds like, you'll need a z pack from your ob. but use sudafed, not sudafed pe, until then.

Thanks ladies. I appreciate it greatly. I didn't even realize that Sudafed was a sinus med. Lol I thought it was just a allergy med. Now, I feel stupid. And I will call the OB and ask for about the z pack, Tiffany.
