could be RSV ... it can make folks much sicker than the recent stains of covid-19 ... and it can easily provoke secondary sinus infections and/or go down into the lungs and cause either pneumonia viral or bacterial pneumonia ...

if either a bacterial sinus infection or a bacterial pneumonia takes hold, powerful antibiotics are in order ...

note that azithromycin usually will no longer touch sinus infections, which can generally be quickly cured with Augmentin ... i think the same thing is true for bacterial pneumonia ...

btw, either of those two infections will make you feel EXTREMELY ill, and produce massive green gunk in the sinuses and massive gunk in the lungs ...

I have a sister ( 80 yrs old) that was taken by ambulance tonight for what Urgent care called a bad sinus infection, but her symptoms seem like the flu.

They gave her azithromycin today and she almost immediately developed a fever and broke out in a sweat....

She thought she was having a reaction to the antibiotic and called paramedics

I'm actually up waiting to hear what is going on....so your post is informative. I didn't know that sinus infections can also go down into the lungs.

I urge anyone who feels something coming on to try to nip it immediately. I didnt. After two days of 200 mg of Doxy I feel marginally better. That doesn’t mean this is bacterial.

I have a script for it to try low dose for inflammation but hadn’t tried it yet. So this could be it is just knocking down the inflammation.

Last night I went to a drugstore to try to get something..anything..to help with the sore throat. I felt so bad I told the cashier I cant function..can you please just handle it so she checked me out at self checkout even putting my credit card in.

Don’t mess around this season if you are an older person. Start treating immediately. In hindsight I should have bombarded myself with vitamin c
