I started with a cold 3 weeks ago and then my 3 children started with a flu virus which I then started with. I have mild chronic sinusitis but for a month before all of this it was alot better, hardly any problems at all.
Last week I started with a fever, green snot and bleeding from left nostril, left nostril was very blocked up, left nostril was very sore high up and my left jaw was agony and very stiff. I saw my GP who gave me 500mg of amoxicillin to take 3 a day for a week. Within 48 hours I was so much better, the GP said it was the flu but aswell as that she thought I had some kind of nostril infection or sinusitis. The antibiotics made me feel much better within 48 hours I just felt very tired which the GP said would happen as they are strong plus I have 3 very poorly children to look after, I was so ill but I had to carry on, I am so tired:mad:
Today I am on my final day of the antibiotics and my right ear has a feeling of pressure and the odd bit of tinitus and my right eyebrow has the occasional but of sinus type niggly pain across it. My husband said its bound to just be abit of inflamation from the infection but I was alot better then today this started so I am worrying abit that the antibiotics haven't worked:mad: I am such a worrier, its christmas in a week, I just want us all to be better, its been a long 3 weeks here.
Can anyone reassure me that the odd bit of pain and fullness in ears is normal after an infection?I really hope my chronic sinusitis doesn't flare up bad after this.
