Upper back tooth extracted 2days ago. on zythromycin(zpack)but sinusesr bothering me.what decongestant can i take that will not have cardiac effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: All decongestants, because of their chemical action will have a stimulatory effect on the heart and blood vessels. Other non medical methods like netti pot or mucolytics like Mucinex (guaifenesin) may help but technically are not decongestants.
