What are some best at home remedies for a cold or sinus infection? tylenol and ibuprofen isn't helping. tia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rest and proper hydration help the most for acute viral infections. Meds have limited use and are reserved for symptom control, such as fever, cough, congestion, etc ( you mentioned the most common ones). If symptoms persist more than 2 weeks seeing your doc would be best in ruling out possible complications and revising treatment options in case needed.
