How long will it take for pain to subside from sinus infection affection right side of face?
The entire right side of my head hurts. Even my teeth and jaw on that side. I started an antibiotic – levaquin 750 mg – today. I have also been taking Musinex D as directed. The pain in the right side of my face is truly unbearable. I have never had a sinus infection cause this much facial pain before. Please help!
As I was submitting this question – began to feel sick to my stomach and actually threw up within minutes of feeling sick. I had just taken another dose of Musinex about 15 minutes prior – as directed. Do you think the infection, medicine or head/face pain caused the nausea? And should I take more Musinex since I threw up so soon after taking it?

Sinus Infection in Children Can Change Your Lifestyle
Children are known for their ability to bring joy and happiness into our lives. However, this is not always the case especially when they are suffering from sinus infections. This is a health condition which involves the inflammation of the sinus surface linings a process that leaves them swollen which then blocks air from reaching the sinuses. When the child is subjected to these conditions, he or she finds it difficult to breathe, starts coughing and sneezing, watery nasal discharge starts coming out of his nose without any much control and eventually the child becomes dull and drowsy.
Given that the above symptoms are common even to adults, there are other specific symptoms which occur to the children depending on their age. For younger children, their sinus infection would in the beginning start to show cold-like symptoms and it is at this point where many parents have a difficult time knowing exactly what is wrong with the child since both the sinus infection and a cold have almost similar symptoms. The only distinction would probably come after the third day when the child has developed fever after cold symptoms have been noticed. Usually, this occurrence serves as an indication that the child may be suffering from a sinus infection or another infection such as pneumonia or bronchitis. Therefore, it is advisable that the child’s pediatrician be contacted so that he could perform a diagnosis on the child in order for him to uncover exactly what causes these symptoms to occur and in the process be able to provide appropriate measures that can cure the child.
When it comes to older children, daytime dry coughs that do not get better after a week of cold symptoms, having dental pain, ear pain and experiencing tenderness in the face, usually serve as the major unique symptoms of a sinus infection in them. To add on to these symptoms, the child may develop a stomach upset condition, nausea and pain behind the eyes. Immediately you notice this, they should be taken to a doctor so that proper medication could be provided to the child.
Just like in adults, a sinus infection in children is not supposed to last for more than seven days before getting cured and when it exceeds this period, it should indicate that the child’s immune system is not capable of fighting the infection on its own and therefore medical assistance should be administered to the child.
In order to minimize the chances of sinus infections from attacking your children, simple life changes may be required to be enforced. For example, during cold seasons such as the winter season, where by the combination of the cold air outside your house and the heating system inside your house makes the air inside the house very dry, you should be prompted to use humidifiers in order to keep the level of humidity inside the house at around 50%. This usually stops the dry air from irritating the child’s sinuses and hence making them unlikely targets for any type of infection. Another change that is believed to be necessary in order to prevent any type of sinus infection in children from taking place is regular cleaning of the humidifiers. This will help clear the mold that could be present there thus minimizing chances of the child contracting an allergy sinus infection.
In cases where the child is already infected, the doctor may provide him with oral antibiotics for bacterial infections, antihistamines for allergy infections and sometimes, nasal decongestants if the infection is viral so as to reduce the symptoms and cure the infection. For pain relief, Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen are commonly preferred by many doctors.

How can you tell if a cough is due to lung congestion or just sinus drainage?
forthelackofoxygen asked:
I’ve been sick since the third week of January. I had bronchitis, but got over that. I’ve had two sinus infections, double conjunctivitis, nausea, and double ear infections since.
I’ve been sick since the third week of January. I had bronchitis, but got over that. I’ve had two sinus infections, double conjunctivitis, nausea, and double ear infections since.
I got better from the first sinus infection, but this second one is lingering and I keep adding symptoms, like the conjunctivitis.
Today, I really started coughing again. I think it’s from my lungs, but I don’t want to go to the doctor and have them tell me it’s just drainage.
How can you tell the difference?
