Sinus Infections



Have you had cold-like symptoms that keep getting worse over the past few days? If this is the case, you (or your child) may have a sinus infection. There is never a good time to have a sinus infection, and it’s possible to develop one any time of the year.

Before we suggest a solution to your problem, let’s go over the symptoms of a sinus infection and discuss treatment.

What is a Sinus Infection?

Known as “Sinusitis” in the medical world, a sinus infection is an infection that is caused by viruses, bacteria, or fungus. The infection can progress and block your sinuses causing your head to hurt and for your nose to drain.

Sinus Infection Symptoms

Nasal-stuffiness and discharge
Sinus headaches: Includes pressure-like pain behind the eyes, tenderness of the face, and toothaches
Fever
Fatigue and general feeling of being ill
Sore throat and postnasal drip
Loss of smell/taste
Bad breath


Treatment Options

At CareNow, we recommend coming in for an evaluation if you think you might have a sinus infection. Diagnosing a sinus infection early can prevent the worsening of condition. A CareNow Doctor will examine your symptoms and determine the best treatment plan. Since most sinus infections are viral, treatment will be focused on symptom relief. The doctor will determine when antibiotics may be appropriate.

**CareNow Tip**: For temporary relief, apply a warm moist washcloth on your face several times a day. This should help relieve the pressure in your head.

Stay on Top of Medication

If your doctor prescribes medication, it’s important to take it as prescribed and to follow the proper dosage instructions.
