Is there medicine for a sinus infection?
Im 99% sure I have a sinus infection, but I feel fine otherwise. Is it worth it to go to the Dr or should I just tough it out?
What over the counter meds can I get? I do NOT want a "cough and cold" medicine bc I JUST have a really runny stuffy icky nose, and cough meds usually give me an upset stomach.
What can I do for JUST a sinus infection?
TIA

I would go to the doctor. They might give you Antibiotics. Also it could be the beginning of a much worse problem.

If it's a sinus infection, it's best to go to the dr and get an antibiotic (since that's the only way to kill the infection).
If it's just sinus pressure, Sudafed non-drying sinus works wonders.

If its viral then just a Sudafed should be fine to clear up the congestion.
If it's a bacterial infection you need an antibiotic to clear it up. Infection has yellowish discharge, sometimes a fever and feeling like you wanna die.
Feel better

Up until I got pregnant I got them 4 or 5 times a year... they knocked me out.
Definitely go to a doctor. You don't want it to get any worse.
I hope it comes and goes quickly Nothing short of a full course of antibiotics and at least three days in bed did the trick for me.

If it is an infection, you need an antibiotic to clear it up. Go to the doctor, they will give you a Z pack and it will be gone in 5 days
