How long will it take me to get better from this infection?!


Question: How long will it take me to get better from this infection.?
I have a bacterial infection in my sinus cavities, the doctor said it was caused by a cold that I never got over. He prescribed Astelin, Tylenol w/codeine, Claritin, and Loratadine.

I feel just miserable, I'd been suffering from this for over 2 months before I saw a doctor (stupid, I know), does anyone know when I will start feeling better.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Ok, the other stuff I can understand, but tylenol w/codeine.? That seems like overkill. If he wants you to just sleep for the next 3 days, hitting you over the head with a frying pan would be a more effective method than doping you into oblivion...

Anyways, a sinus infection reacts well to a combination of decongestant and antibiotic. You should start feeling better pretty quickly - but don't stop taking the antibiotics until you've finished them. Health Question & Answer

He didn't tell you to irrigate with salt water.? That usually has you feeling a little better in a couple of days. (You still have the infection, but you feel a little better.)Health Question & Answer
