ibuprofen for sinus infection

Im 9weeks and have the worst head cold and sinus infection, my head feels like its going to explode! ! Not sure what is safe and not safe to take...ive looked and Tylenol, ibuprofen and nyquil seem okay. Anyone else know of what would help? I feel miserable.

I have been feeling somewhat dizzy and having headaches underneath my eyes and across the middle of my forehead, I also have had a very stuffy nose. Are these symptoms of a sinus infection or allergies?

, I did find out I am anemic (iron deficience) a month ago and am on iron supplements now for a over a month. Was treated for sinus infection, ear infection and still have symptoms. Any ideas? The weight gain is really concerning as I have not changed my diet.

ve been taking Panadol for 3+ months straight since my sinus infection started. I was taking 2 to 4 pills each day. But it seems to be not helping me that much any more. The pain gets strong enough to interfere with my work - it's a desk job but the pain is distracting and I find it difficult to concentrate.

I was informed by my doctor that I had a sinus infection...and now I am having pain and swelling slight behind the ear and in the jaw area.

Seems like you have a sinus infection. I have been suffering from Chronic Sinusitis for the past 2 years and these are classic symptoms. See your doctor and get some antibiotics and it should clear up the infection.

I have been seeing my ENT for a little over a month now for sinus pain and congestion. I am on a nasal steroid spray and am currently taking a high does antibiotic. He wants me to take it for 2 weeks. I have been on it for 4 days now. I was wondering if anyone knew of home remedies to get rid of a sinus headache between the eyes. I wake up every morning with this headache and it won't go away.

Also on same day crown was fitted pt had two moles removed w subsequent skin infection at removal sites (swelling, redness, pus) resolved after about 1-2 wks. Antibiotic was RX by primary care physician for sinus infection only; also during this time both of the pain medications listed above were RX (along w OTC ibuprofen). Pt had been on all other meds for over 1 month. * crown was made and fitted in one visit w new technology CEREC®3D WHAT MIGHT HAVE CAUSED THIS ACUTE GUM SWELLING?

These medications include aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen (Motrin or Advil) or naproxen (Aleve or Naprosyn). If you take these drugs for a chronic medical condition, consult with your doctor about to what to do. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) can be taken for fever or pain. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

Have you tried ibuprofen? Sometimes I get headaches from the oxycodone and I find 800 mg. ibuprofen helps. For all my pains, it helps a little. I think it helps the oxy work better for me.

I've been taking a lot of ibuprofen all week for an almost constant tension type headache. 200-600 mg every four hours, not more than 2600 mg a day. I haven't had much of a headache today but I feel sick like I have a mild cold or flu and I'm still taking ibuprofen because my jaw and teeth hurt and I have a painful kink in my neck, plus running a mild fever.

After visiting with the doctor yesterday due to a sinus infection I decided to confess to her about my headaches. :) Headaches that start behind my left eye, always the left. After several of these headaches, starting about 10 years ago, I finally found that Benedryl with a decongestant takes care of it. However, the longer I wait to take the Benedryl the longer it takes to get it under control. So then it radiates to the back of my head and into my shoulder.

I used a saline nasal spray for the sinuses and ibuprofen for the pain and inflammation. (I recommend only taking what pain medicine the doctor prescibes for you and where your liver damage is at.) Antibiotics only seemed to work while I was on them and within two days the sinus and throat problems were back and just as bad. I am 13 weeks post EOT and my sinuses are doing great now on their own, so hang in there, and I hope you feel better!

You could have an infection in your maxillary sinuses, which is not unusual for any sort of dental infection, but only a doctor can diagnose that. A Neilmed Sinus Rinse is very effective for maxillary sinus infections, but not infections of the upper sinuses.

Hello, Routinely vibramycin(tetracycline) is not prescribed for sinus infections as the antibiotics of choice for sinusitis are usually penicillins,macrolides,fluorquinolones or cepahalosporins.However if you want to take tetracycline antibiotics,then pls inform your PCP about it before taking it. I hope that helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Kind regards.

I have a sinus infection. They put me on an antibiotic. Last night my fever increased to around 101 I took a tylenol but before it could kick in my bp went up to 158/98 with pulse of 106. I felt like I was about to go into A fib. But it all settled down after a few minutes. I should also point out that I take coumidin, 100 mg of Metropolol, and low dose asprin. Today I have had the fever which I have controlled with tylenol. When I breathe deep my right shoulder hurts.

NSAIDs reduce the effectiveness of platelets, so ibuprofen, aspirin, and naproxen are out. But acetaminophen has no effect on platelets, so I wonder why the warning?

When sinuses become inflamed, these areas get blocked and mucus cannot drain. This lack of proper sinus drainage can lead to infection. Worse pain in the morning because mucus has been collecting and draining all night Diagnosis can be made by examination, transillumination, xrays, a CT scan, or an MRI.Pls consult an ENT surgeon for that. I hope that helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.Kind regards.

I would see your regular doctor first to rule out basic things like sinus infection. Then you could always consider an ENT. Sounds like typical sinus issues and I definitely wouldn't jump to the idea that it's a tumor. Stress, allergies, sinus infection... so many more likely causes.

I was told I had sinus infection but I didnt even know I did? I have TERRIBLE ear and neck pain and lower skull pain and I was on antibiotics for 3 weeks to no avail. Neck pain so bad I could touch my neck vein and it was so sore and I had pain shoot to my temples.. OMG!!!! ICE PACK helped thanks God but...

I tried calling my dr but only get come in tomorrow.I want to know now.Its scaring me.I did start a round of Keflex and Ibuprofen for pain.Will I ever get the feeling back?

who said this was a sinus infection. I searched online and did not find anything suggesting a sinus infection can be caused by a tooth extraction. I read Sinus Infection on Mayo Clinic 's website and it describe more serious immune system problems can cause it , now i am really freaking out. It has been about 7 days now , anyone got any opinions or advise ? I never had this before and if anyone has any opinions , please help.
