How long does a head cold with sinus last?

Question

i have been taking antibiotics.....sudafed ect....will this last like a week? its been 3 or 4 days

Answer 1

About a full week!

Answer 2

Probably about a week.  Don't take antibiotics for a head cold.  It's a virus, the antibiotics aren't doing anything and your body is going to build up immunity to them.

Answer 3

Mine has lasted 10 days - I am still tired and my head fills up with glue - my husband is 4 days ahead of me on this head cold and he is better now.  The BEST medicine is alkaseltzer cold plus - the fizzy tablets - I don't know why, but those make me feel so much better.  I also use a nasal rinse (you need to get over the feeling that you are drowning yourself) - but you squeeze this water salt mixture up one nostril and it comes out the other - then you blow your nose and ALL the gunk comes out - I suggest using it in the shower - you can buy them at any pharmacy.  

Get well soon!

Answer 4

probably a week and more

Answer 5

yeah sweetie it will start to calm down within a week, the second week is alot better but thats when it goes away. its good ur treating it straight away, mine turned into phemonia.

Poor thing sweetie i feel for you

Answer 6

Just kind of depends-- I recommend Muccinex DM...its great!  You need to drink plenty of water (it helps all the secretions come out with or without the Muccinex!)  Get some rest too!
