10 days ago I got the worst cold I have had for years and my nose streamed mostly left sided for 7 days - I also felt quite alot of pressure in centre of face. My husband has also got it but a few days behind me and my friend had this cold 4 weeks ago. 3 days ago my nose stopped running and just gunk going backwards but nothing nasty or multicoloured:) but the feeling of intense moving pressures in centre of face behind nose and eyes and also left side of face is awful plus the back of my head neck and shoulders ache. I also feel a bit dizxy when I move my head suddenly. My friend said she felt so ill with this cold and she had the terrible head pressures and pain and neck shoulder aches and she said this lasted for about a week after her nose stopped running.
Becasue its xmas week and no dr for quite a few days I am going tos ee Dr tomorrow as I am worried I have a sinus infection - my friend said hers got better itself but she was very worried while it lasted and felt really ill with it BUT I don't want to take antibiotics if I don't have an infection as its only about 6 weeks since I had some for an absess BUT on other hand haven't the courage to wait and see like my friend did.
Help what do I do????? My husband thinks I should just wait and see but I know that if I do and it gets to xmas and I am no better I will panic like mad over the holidays but again if I get antibiotics I will worrya bout taking them as well:mad:
