I have been treated for a sinus infection as of Friday with antibiotics. Now I also am coughing a lot! The cough starts with tickle/irritation in throat from drainage, then spirals into bad cough, it hurts and I am gasping for air. What can I do to help this and breathe ok?
Hi, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of upper respiratory tract infection, I would just tell that it is not only sinuses it has involved your upper food canal, larynx/air way, tonsils and regional lymph nodes also! The symptoms are related to post nasal Chat Doctor. I would suggest some home remedies and medicines also!1. Hot saline gargle as much possible2. Massage hot mustard oil in your soles of feet3. Antiallergics like loratadine/cetirizine4. Antibiotics like azithromycin 5. Good nutrition / vitamins and warmth6. Do not blow nose just squeeze it when necessary! Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.
