So as some of you know I've had a horrible virus for the last couple of weeks. I am feeling a lot better in myself but I still have a loose cough and several times a day I'm coughing phlegm sometimes clear sometimes greenish.
The thing is it doesn't feel like it's on my chest and I'm sure it's coming from my nose as in the morning I obviously cough up more and I can feel it running down my throat but it seems to be my right side only that's affected.
I seem to have sinus issues on this side that's the side that always gets blocked when my hayfever is bad etc and I did have an ENT scope a few months back and he just provided otrivine.
My mum thinks I should go back to the doctor as she thinks I have a sinus infection but I'm reluctant as I'd rather my body take care of it than have to have antibiotics. I'm also doing Saline rinses 2-3 times a day to keep my sinuses clear.
My question is, is it normal to have PND on one side and does this sound like par for the course following a viral infection.
I'm not in any pain in my sinuses, no swelling etc so I'm thinking it's just that whereas initially everything was completely dry it's just all the rubbish now draining out and it will probably just get less and less over the course of time.
Just wondered if any sinus sufferers could give some feedback from what I've read antibiotics are a bit hit and miss anyway with infections.
Thanks
