Question 1

I have a sinus infection. i've been on cefzik for a day and a half. 500 mg x2 a day. when will i start to feel better? my mucus is bright yellow

Accepted Answer

This condition seldom requires antibiotic therapy. Try using a saline irrigation with a Neti-pot (see your pharmacist), along with a decongestant like pseudoephedrine or oxymetozaline. This may help. Hope you are better soon.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

or sometimes, secretions can dry and appear yellow.  If you are feeling well compared to a week ago, you are on the path to recovery.

Question 3

2yr old has nasal mucus that went from clear to thick yellow,now it is clear w/ light yellow.been 7 days. sinus infection or cold? let it run coarse?

Accepted Answer

The nasal mucous will color over time from the normal germs that live on the membrane walls.The color means less than the 2yo's pattern of daily activities. If the kid is playful.eating normally and not bothered that it should clear on its own.If the kid's feeds are off, play is less and she is running fever, it deserves a visit.

Question 4

I was diagnosed with a sinus infection but my lungs were clear. ihave been spitting up yellow mucus with streaks of blood. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

The fluid from your nose runs backward into your throat. From there, it stimulates coughing or spitting. The yellow mucous with streaks of blood is from your sinuses. This is good, it means that the mucous is moving out of your sinuses and your infection is starting to clear up. Good luck.

Question 5

I have been suffering from blocked sore nose and sometimes yellow thick mucus & constantly coughing for over 6 month could this be a sinus infection ?

Accepted Answer

Take an antihistamine, like diphenhydramine.  If that works it is allergies.  Stop all fragrances and aerosols in soaps, detergents, and home, avoid smoke and smoking, all of which are irritants to respiratory passages.  If no better,  this could certainly be a sinus infection. Get seen and treated then.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

will take its course to totally clear, kindly finish the antibiotic course as prescribed, keep the saline nasal washes, good luck

Most likely you have allergy sinusitis , or you could be having a chronic sinusitis
try to take allergy medicine like zyrtec or Benadryl (diphenhydramine) at night since it could make you drowsy
if persistent you might need to see ENT specialist
some people benefit from saline nasal spray, some suggest local honey from your local farmer market.

Question 8

What does a heavily coated yellow tongue mean i recently had a sinus infection and was treated with amoxicilin

Accepted Answer

Antibiotic treatment can alter the balance of bacteria and other organisms in the body. In the mouth, this can lead to an increase in the growth of some organisms that may be pigmented, leading to white, yellow, brown or black discoloration. Maintaining good oral hygiene, and gently brushing the tongue can help the tongue regain its normal bacterial balance and color.
