A member asked:
I've had a sinus infection for a few weeks. i'm taking augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate). my mucus is thick and sticky. am i in the last stages of my sinus infection?

Hard to say: Thick mucus means you need additional hydration--more fluids--speak to your doctor about saline sinus rinse, humidifier/vaporizer. If you have fever or sinus tenderness you need to be reseen. Keep away from others who smoke or anything that irritates your airway. Use saline nasal spray in addition and showers to moisten your secretions. Feel better!
