My condition is not getting worse but not better. Should I consult?

Question

Hello. For the last 10 days, I have been congested and I have pain in the upper part of my face (forehead, nose, upper cheeks). I feel pressure when I lean forward and I have headaches. I am pregnant, so I am limited in the methods of relief. Excellent thank you so much for your time ☺️.

Hello ! The symptoms you describe may be those of sinusitis. It is an infection that resolves itself in 10 to 14 days. Sometimes it can last longer. Most of the time, sinusitis is a viral infection and does not require antibiotic treatment Regarding your symptoms, I suggest you try the Sinus Rinse. Nasal irrigation with a saline solution will help eliminate mucus and relieve your congestion. For pain, you can take tylenol. It is a safe medication for pregnancy. Make sure you don't take more than 4000 mg a day If your condition does not improve within a week and your symptoms have a major impact on your functioning, I suggest that you consult a doctor.
