I had been taking over the counter cold medications since january when I was diagnosed with fluid in my ear. Took antibiotics for a week and 2 days after i stopped symptoms returned. Went back to Dr. and was diagnosed with sinusitus. Just took my last dose of a 2 week long sinusitus treatment this morning. Never had a fever. Im worried treatment was not enough for whatever is causing my problems.
Job security. Next time, it’s imperative you haggle the doctor that if they withhold any method for any reason that may help alleviate suffering or getting well, you give them cents on the dollar until you feel like it’s improving how you feel. Treat these American pharmaceutical-backed doctors like used car salesman. The COVID 19 theatre 🎭 caused a lot of damage and the biggest mass psychological operation (psychological warfare) of all time. Be careful who you put your trust into and think for thyself.
This was so informative! Where I live, antibiotics are known to be overprescribed. I had no idea that the common cold and other viral respiratory infections were one of the biggest causes! As a layperson, I'm left with two questions, should you take them: 1. Could a slide from a nose swab or mucous sample be prepared? Even if the exact pathogen isn't identified, couldn't a microscope show whether it's bacterial or viral? 2. Is there a difference in the pathogens that cause sinus infections vs. a cold?
After a sinus & throat inflammation lasting for about 7 weeks, I went to an ENT doctor. He prescribed opioid, cortisone, and antihistamine, all of which knocked me out 😬 Needless to say, I didn’t consume all of them
Yeah I have had a cold for 2 weeks now. I know antibiotics are used too often so I waited it out in hopes it was a viral infection. I couldn’t take it any longer. I went to the doctor after 2 weeks and was given an antibiotic. It may have started out viral but I think it’s bacterial now
I waited for 7 weeks. It was getting worse and worse. No fever but a lot of coughing with phlegm and huge hard chunks of bloody yellow/green mucus plugs coming out of my nose, and deteriorating chest pain. They eventually sent me for an ex ray, turns out I had both pneumonia and sinus infection, and they put me on antibiotics. I feel better but slow recovery, been on antibiotics fir two weeks and it's still not completely gone. Definitely improving. It started as a cold, but because my sinuses got inflamed and couldn't drain, it turned bacterial and spread to the lungs too.
Yes I had that too and I thought it was little chunks of my lungs 🫁 Went to the ER and they said it was from my sinuses like boogers but it was more tissue like and blood chunky. It’s alien like as well and terrifying! 😧
I have been sick for 6 days. 2-3 days ago I started having severe pain in my left maxillary sinus…causing my top teeth on that side to ache like crazy! So much pain I’m constantly taking pain killers or using heat compresses. Went to urgent care last night and dr said they will not give me antibiotics until it’s been 10 days. You mentioned severe focal pain as a sign of bacterial infection. Is it common to have severe focal pain with viral infections as well? Hoping for relief soon😭
It is almost one year that I suffer! Retinal veins occlusion and many other complications that started by a flu . I feel a foul smell every time and doctors in Germany do not take me seriously
I have been experiencing irritation in my checkbone, ride side of nose and right side eyes, ear and under my jaw, its been 4 years im experiencing my brian get confused when they start giving me irritation
For the past three weeks I’ve had a lot of sinus pressure and extremely stuffy nose and I went to my into a week ago and so my sinuses are very inflamed. I do not have a runny nose or sore throat, but the mucus that does come out of my nose is very sticky and rubbery, and has almost no moisture and it’s been going on three weeks now. What do you think it is?
I have the same symptoms you described except I had sore throat but not anymore. Just dry throat. I used NeilMed nasal rinse and it was so much help draining my mucus out. My mucus was thick and rubbery like yours. My mucus won't come out unless I take a warm shower with water pouring down my head and nose or when I use the nasal rinse.
I had flue back in August in ny third trimester of pregnancy n it was not drained from both nostrils, now after 3 months ofbaby birth its still there. Is this viral or bacterial?

Better information then any other site
Over prescribed.. yeah right. I was sick for 2 months. Doctor wouldn't give me antibiotics at first but when I got them I was better in days.
Typical Charge the insurance or you and say GooseBye typical I should know I'm a Medical Biller MoFos

They absolutely ARE overprescribed. Doctors hand out prescriptions for antibiotics for viral infections ALL the time.
You probably got better because your own immune system was doing its job and not because you took antibiotics.
@nl212ep it was getting worst not better. Doctors shouldn't be cops ffs

Thank you so much for this straightforward information.

How are u now? what helped u the most
No antibiotics at all? Those meds only treat symptoms. You're still alive so your body defeated the infection at least.
My favorite new phrase: You feel like roadkill 😂😂😂
Such great information. Thank you so much for teaching us!!
Thank you Dr Kotarsky for another educational and informative vid on sinusitis being I get these occasionally.
Yeah I have had a cold for 2 weeks now. I know antibiotics are used too often so I waited it out in hopes it was a viral infection. I couldn’t take it any longer. I went to the doctor after 2 weeks and was given an antibiotic. It may have started out viral but I think it’s bacterial now
Are you good now?
@@PockTechTR yes. It took about a month is get over it. Not fun
How long your fever last,?
Well, kudos to you for recognizing the potential for antibiotic overuse and at least trying to wait it out for some time.
I waited for 7 weeks. It was getting worse and worse. No fever but a lot of coughing with phlegm and huge hard chunks of bloody yellow/green mucus plugs coming out of my nose, and deteriorating chest pain.

What causes your sinuses to get clogged/ infected and bacteria
I have had respitory problem for
Months no sore throut but pain in chest no fever but wet cough
Can sinusitis cause pain in upper gum when You brush Your teeth?
No that’s gingivitis not sinusitis..😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes, it is well known that sinusitis can cause teeth and gum pain/sensitivity.
This info was so valuable. Bloody and semi-solid green and red brown tissue comes out of nose in a clump. What is this? Thank u so much.
Oh hey I had that too I think! I assumed it was just a firm glob of snot. It's actually horrifying, right?
Yes I had that too and I thought it was little chunks of my lungs 🫁
Went to the ER and they said it was from my sinuses like boogers but it was more tissue like and blood chunky. It’s alien like as well and terrifying! 😧
That was really helpful thank you so much ❤
Excellant explanation.
What about fungal infection?!!!
Thank you doctor
You are genius. That's all I can say.
Very useful! Thank you

I don’t know if I have sinus infection or a cold affecting my sinus. I feel like shit, like congestion is the worst
Great job
I can't remember having an antibiotic prescribed for myself. My internists in Washington and Philadelphia won't have it.
I don't have a fever but my runny nose and cough wouldn't. 😢 It's like 1 month and 3 weeks now.. 😢
This sounds pretty solid. Thank you.
It is almost one year that I suffer! Retinal veins occlusion and many other complications that started by a flu . I feel a foul smell every time and doctors in Germany do not take me seriously
In other words Doctors haven't got a clue and that's if you win the Dr appointment lottery!
I have been experiencing irritation in my checkbone, ride side of nose and right side eyes, ear and under my jaw, its been 4 years im experiencing my brian get confused when they start giving me irritation
Awesome info❤

@@sohosterable it turns out I probably had covid and my nose got dried out from the nose spray I’ve been using saline rinse it helps a lot
Consider Chronic epipharyngitis, Check out EAT therapy for long covid
I sneeze all the time and i have a little headache

Excellent
Doctor you have a wicked sense of humour 😂 I literally did feel like I had stuffed bricks into my nose 😢
Can they last for 6 months?
I have fever , sore throat, headache,runny nose , nasal drip , dark mucous
I had flue back in August in ny third trimester of pregnancy n it was not drained from both nostrils, now after 3 months ofbaby birth its still there. Is this viral or bacterial?
Hvala puno! 😊
Can amoxicillin cause skin to hurt and muscle aches?

Nice Blue Eyes

Why are you talking so loud? Can't you hear your mic clipping all the time?
He doesn't know what he is talking about.Doctors still do not know how to deal with lung infections.
