A member asked:
I have a severe sinus infection am takin amoxicillan a decongestant and ibprofen for the swellin should i also take an antihistamin?

It depends: Only take an antihistamine if you are sure you have allergy symptoms during this time of year. Taking an antihistamine when you don't need it will cause your nose and sinuses to dry out too much. This could make your sinus symptoms worse.
