Sinus Infection, prescribed Flonase (side effect)

[Jayanon]

I know I had a virus infection that led an upper resp. infection but that passed but one week I had a running nose maybe due to allergies but whatever, One day I had a bad headache felt pressure on my face. I suffer from bad sinus, chronic sinusitis year round but this day I decided to go to the ER, the only looked at the symptoms which brought me there which was my headache and the pressure. They gave me flonase and saod to take sudafed. Its the fourth day and I can breath but I noticed on the back of my tongue red dots, like enlarged and the back of it looks dry. Its hard to swallow right now. I can breath fine just that everytime I breath, I can feel the back of my throat. Should I go to the ER? or wait this out?

Hello and hope you are doing well.

Looks like you have developed a sinus infection which has  progressed to a throat infection as well. Sinus infections cause a post nasal drip where secretions from the nose go backward into the throat and irritate. You will need to consult your primary care physician for proper clinical assessment. In the meantime for relief from your symptoms you could do warm salt gargles and take OTC antihistamines.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

I don't know what it is but maybe you should go back to the ER because something little might become serious problems later. Maybe it might've been the things they gave you that cause it too.
