A member asked:
I had a chest infection 2 weeks ago and took antibiotics but ever since i've had bad nose congestion. any suggestions on how to get rid of it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mgt: I would recommend nasal saline rinses and keeping the nasal passages clear. If there is still congestion for three weeks, another course of antibiotics to treat a sinus infection can be considered. Monitor your temperature and if there is a fever, please call your physician. A virtual appt is also available.
