What to do? Can we treat ourselves without antibiotics? I already take nasonex and sinus rinse.

Question

Hello I have had a cold for 10 days. Since 2 days the symptoms are worse: laryngitis (loss of voice for 48 hours), slight fever, headache. I think I have a sinusitis Hello thank you for your message. I had to consult because the symptoms were very present. They prescribed Biaxin. I have been taking it for 24 hours. The fever has disappeared but the congestion is still present. After how long will I be able to breathe better? Thank you

Hello ma'am, did things get better before these symptoms occurred? Are you currently taking any other medications? Hello ma'am, glad to read that the situation has been taken care of! The full effect of the antibiotics can be appreciated after 72 hours. I would suggest continuing nasal hygiene as often as necessary during the day and at least 30 minutes before bedtime. There is no maximum number of times during the day. I will remain available if you have any further questions! Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
