RedFlameOut’s Musings

For the last two days, I have had a sinus headache to beat all sinus headaches. My doctor believes I have a mild sinus infection and so now come the antibiotics. I feel great this morning and so of to work I go. You see, I left early on Monday and did not go in yesterday at all.

So, Claritin each morning, antibiotics twice a day, and Aleve for the pain (or Tylenol, my choice). At least that yucky yellow mucus has slowed to a trickle (no pun intended).

I was surprised the doctor did not tell me to use a sinus medicine. He said that Claritin was fine and would keep my passages from clogging up and I could take either Aleve or Tylenol based on my personal experience with them. He also said there was no need to provide more drug strength than actually needed. This is refreshing as in my experience, most doctors prescribe to cover the symptoms.
