Will sudafed help with sinus infection and chest connection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you have an: Actual sinus infection, a decongestant alone is usually not adequate. If you have sinus congestion and pain (without signs of bacterial infection) - then it might help to do the trick. If you have an infection your physician may need to prescribe antibiotic treatment.
