A member asked:

On zpak for sinus infection and strept on day two of med but scared when i lay down yellow like water pours out of nose filling tissues am i ok?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pours?: There's only a fixed amount of fluid that the sinuses can hold, so i think i need a clarification of what you mean "pours." the antibiotic could be helping a socked-in infection finally break up and perhaps that's what you're experiencing.
