Hi all
Has anyone got any advice about sinus infections?
I've had a cough for a few weeks and went to my asthma specialist and he told me to up my medication which I did and it seemed to help a little.
I then got a sinus infection and it seemed to be making the cough worse.
I've seen an ent specialist and he's prescribed a nasal steroid and an antibiotic azithromycin.
I'm a bit worried as I've been taking the antibiotic 2 days and am blowing out dark yellow stuff when I blow my nose (sorry for boing so gross).
He's told me to take azithromycin for a week at 500mg then another week at 250mg though the leaflet with it says to just take it for 3 days.
I worried that the antibiotics won't make me better and that taking them for 2 weeks may make me feel even more ill.
I've read that sinus infections usually go on their own anyway but can take a while.
Sorry for the long post.
Thanks for reading,
