Yes. I get them once a year or so and the infection is blocking the drainage waaay up in your sinuses.
Headache, especially between the eyes, nasty taste in your mouth, maybe sore throat from the back of the throat drainage and overall feeling achey and crappy.
Infact, I call them ” God, I feel like crap” must be a sinus infection! haha
I use Neilmed sinus rinse daily and drink lots of water.
This is disgusting to share, but, after a few days on anti-biotics ( I usually go for the Z-Pac or sometimes a Sulfa drug ) the ‘nest’ of the infection will start to break up and THEN, the nastiest junk will start being sniffed and coughed out. :-(
Left untreated sinus infections can penetrate the mucus membranes and cause a BRAIN infection.
It is also common to have stuffy ears & ear infections as well and, also, chest infections from the bacteria laden drip.
Do not wait too long to see your doctor, and…if you have any dizziness, disorientation, neurological symptoms go the the ER stat!
