sinus infection

Ugh 36+6 and getting a sinus infection. Been waiting 2hrs to hear back from obgyn office about what I can take. They really asked me how I know it's a sinus infection without seeing doctor. I get a sinus infection this time every year and sometimes an ear infection with it. I was so hoping that maybe I would have some luck and not get one this year. I would call my other doctor and ask them to just call me a prescription in for an antibiotic but they won't do it because I'm pregnant and says to get permission from obgyn on what I can have. This really ***** I feel horrible. All I need is a script for amoxicillin and I'll be good to go. It's bad I know exactly what prescription I need. Had allergy and sinus problems and ear infection entire life.

Good thingis if iI get ear infection I never take nothing more than Tylenol for pain. Hate taking unnecessary medication. They still haven't called me back yet and I really hope they don't tell me mucinex because that never works not even for my kids. Thankfully husband bringing me some throat drops.

I Had A Sinus Infection A Few Months Ago. All I Was Allowed To Take Was Mucinex. It Was Terrible Because It Barely Did Anything For It.
