A member asked:
I had a flu shot about a week ago. i now have bad sinus pressure, sneezing, runny nose, and headaches. also very sleepy. no fever, though. any idea?

Cold: It sounds like you have a common cold, which has nothing to do with the flu shot. Flu shots are given during cold season, so it's not unusual to get a cold after receiving the vaccine. You should take the usual over-the-counter medications that you would take to treat cold symptoms.
