Sinus symptoms, stuffy nose can't breathe to sleep. i've tried muxinex, 825mg amoxicillin vicks nose spray. what should i do?

No Vicks!: Stay away from vicks! it can cause changes in your nose making your nose chronically congested. You need to see a doctor as your symptoms may be allergic in which case antihistamines or corticosteroid nasal sprays or combination sprays may be of benefit to you. You also might have an infection which is not sensitive to Amoxicillin and in this case a stronger antibiotic is indicated.
