A member asked:
My wife has pain in her left sinus cavity. some light mucus discharge. should she ride it out, take otc or find a doctor?

Possibly : If symptoms get much worse it may be turning into a sinus infection. See a doctor if symptoms continue to worsen for more than a couple of days. She can certainly try a nasal decongestant spray and or pill with advil or aleve.
