I have had a sinus infection since about may and finally went to the doctor Tuesday, after my throat became?

Question

sore on Monday. He gave me Amoxacillon (sp?), Allegra-D and a nasal spray. I have now taken the Amoxacillion 5 times (inculding this morning) but my throat keeps getting worse (more painful). My left side tonsil is really swollen compared to the other side. My question is should I call the doctor because this could be serious or should I wait and see if the medicine takes affect on my throat (all my other sinus issues are much better)? The doctor did give me a strep test tuesday which was negative.

Answer 1

I would call your doctor back if it is getting worse.  There is a strain of something going around that is similiar to what you have. My husband and friend had that.  On antibotics and their throat continued to get worse.  So they both had to see their doctors again to get rid of it.  They gave them more drugs to knock it out.  

Answer 2

broad spectrum anti biotics like that always hurt you in the end. try garlic and lemon

Answer 3

Yes, you should.

Hmmm..... I belive that you didn't manage yourself very well and really depends on medication only without a proper care of yourself which make yourself sick.

Better check with him/her again and tell her/him what is your pain occur this time. :).

Answer 4

post nasal drip irritating the throat.

use this mixture for gargle and for sinus wash for help. THere are many kinds of bacteria that live in the sinuses, and this gets rid of all the bad ones!.This is the only thing that really helped me --- my Dr. told me about a sinus wash that will kill bacteria.

you need

distilled water

sea salt

liquid chlorophyll and colloidal silver from the health food store.

in a glass mix 1/4 cup water with a pinch of salt and heat to body temperature.

add 5 drops each silver and chlorophyll and mix.

using a large dropper (like one used for infant medication) drop 2 full droppers full into one side of the nose while laying down.

Turn the head and let it drain out the other nostril. Be sure to have paper towels handy.

The silver kills the bacteria and there are several hundred kind that can live in the sinus cavities and anti biotics don't get rid of them all.

Do this twice a day for a week, mixing up the mixture fresh each time.

Then do it once a week for maintenance.

There is nothing in this that will hurt you, and it cured me.

I do not have to take claritin, or antibiotics anymore.
