Do I have a sinus infection? Must I see the Doc?

[jec2]

Ok, I am sick but what is it?. I have been since right before Halloween. I was on the upswing then last week I took a turn for the worse. My head is achy with pressure in my eyes. My ears are not achy but there is pressure. I have had a sore throat since thursday. My nasal mucus has been quite verdant and abundant(tmi, i know!). Is this just another cold bacck to back with my first one? I sinus infection? Strep throat? Should I try and see the doc before thanksgiving?

Help!

It could definitely be a sinus infection. I would try to get it looked at.

Sounds like a SI to me...just got over one. I took some of Kayla's antibiotics from her ear infection and some Tylenol Sinus and that's what helped me. BTW, I was on OTC stuff for a week but found no real relief until I took some of Kayla's pink stuff... If you don't have some, I'd definitely hit the doc. Otherwise, you'll have no smell/taste for the T-day feast! Hope you feel better soon...
