aries – Like I said, it’s very hard to get a clear picture of what’s going on from your description here. But from what I’m hearing because you say this is different than the last time, is that you had/have a viral URI, possible bronchitis and now it sounds like you have a secondary bacterial sinusitis. To all you armchair docs, Z-pack/zithro isn’t the drug of choice for sinusitis, like it is for bacterial bronchitis. Drugs for this are Amoxil or Omnicef or Vantin. For refractory or severe infection you give Augmentin.
If you start having difficulty breathing or you feel like you’re going to pass out or you start turning blue or gray, call 911!
