I am sick and tired of being sick! I need summer to be here!
Today will be my last day on antibiotics... the 4th script in 4 months and today, my throat is starting to hurt again, my ears feel very 'full' and I'm starting to get a horrible headache and I have felt tired and weak and sore all day.
I'm ready to quit my job and curl up under a ton of blankets and not come out until June 1st!
I hope everyone else is feeling better!

I hope you do too!
Holli,
This comes from a person who used to suffer constantly from sinus infections. I'd go from one script right after another to no avail. I hardly ever get them any more and this is why: I read up on what causes sinus infections, and I won't go in to details here. However, my grandmother used to tell me that her dad used to swear by salt water to cure a sinus infection. I used to chalk it up as an old wive's tale. Then my allergist recommended using saline nasal spray every day....and several times a day if the sinus pressure started. Saline nasal spray is simply salt water sold in a bottle for about $2. It's gross, but if you spray it in your nose, wait a few moments, then blow, it clears your sinuses of bacteria. If you already have an infection, it helps with the pressure. Once I started doing that, I have had I think one sinus infection, and I had that because I was OUT OF saline nasal spray and too lazy to go to the store and buy some. I am not making this up. Seriously. It's gross, but it works.
Feel better, okay?
kristi is right...my doc makes me gargle and do the salt water thing...take some extra c's and take care of yourself...
