But if you are taking Sudafed - don't take the Muxinex 'D". I'm sure you know that already! Hope tomorrow is a better day. I know when I have a sinus infection; I get depressed; I'm slow; can't think clearly. . . ugh. It's awful.

I forgot the steam! You can also take a super hot shower and let your bathroom get really steamy while you are in there. That usually helps just about everything, no?

Thank you, Patti! I feel like a walking medicine cabinet! Give me drugs!! I'm so sorry you are feeling so bad. I remember when Mexico had such bad wildfires a few years back that we could see the smoke in all the way in Central Texas. It can really play havoc with the sinus. Hope they will get the fires under control soon. The weather is so hot and dry everywhere. Our city has just put a Phase One warning about water usage on a scale of six phases. They start rationing at Phase Four.

| I have another question. The Sudafed apparently is doing it's job. My sinuses are not draining anymore and they feel dry but still very stopped ip. Wouldn't it be better to not take the Sudafed and let them drain? Will taking the Sudafed hinder the healing process? Is it good for the sinuses to feel dry and blocked? I feel very dy and clogged...not draining and clogged now. I hope I never have this happen again! UGH!!

I could survive this if I could only HEAR. Both ears are plugged, probably from the infection. The doc called in Prednisone, twice a day, for 5 days. I took my first one today. I'll give it one more day to open the ears, then I'm going back in on Friday morning. I'm not going to spend another weekend in misery if I can help it. I, too, thought the Zpack would have already worked by now. I've taken it for 3 days now and the symptoms are only getting worse.

As far as now feeling better to at least clean house or even leave the house, I feel OK. I have so much medicine in me that I should feel pretty good! It's just these darned EARS! I'm going to the doctor this morning to see if there is anything else he can do for me. I think it's time for a different antibiotic. It hasn't helped at all that I can tell. At least I can tell him I gave it a chance. Thanks for the well wishes!

| I get outer ear infections (swimmer's ear) sooooo bad I am off to the ER. Go to the ER. They will give you percacet which will help you get through the next few days until you can go to your regular doctor. They will also prescibe an antibiotic. My BP was through the roof last I went for the ear pain, that it would not even register on the machine. They gave me percacet and kept me there for 2 hours to make sure my BP was ok. It was pain induced. As soon as the percs kicked in, my BP returned to normal. I know the pain you are in, it's unbearable. I cry and cry and cry, there is just NO relief for days. I called the doctor who told me to take 2 percs, 2 hours later take 2 advil, 2 hours later 2 percs, etc... for a few days. This helped so very much! Good luck! Go to the ER! Dont' go all weekend in this kind of pain. Its not worth it! (((HUGS)))

| I didn't read your whole thread, sorry! It took my antibiotics 7 days to unclog my ears. It was so long that I actually called the doctor after 5 days and they told me it was normal and it could and probably would take 7 days for the ears to unclog. At that point it was annoying, but not painful anymore.
