I have had a severe sinus infection for3-4 weeks. Currently moren tha half way through Avelox. This is second antibiotic.Still coughing and now experiencing tightness and shortnesss of breath. Also heaviness in chest. Shouldi go back to the doctors?
Yes, you should go back to the doctor. The sinus infection may have set off asthma-like symptoms in your lungs that are causing the tightness, cough, and shortness of breath. The sinus infection could even be completely gone, but these symptoms could continue. Your doctor can listen to your lungs and see if there is wheezing. This would require different treatment. He or she can also check for pneumonia, which can also have progressed from such a severe sinus infection. Hope this answers your query. If you have more questions, I would be happy to answer them.
