Can we take any over the counter meds for sinus infection?

I think I am starting one. I have really bad pressure in the back on my head. I really don’t want to go to the doctor so I can sit there for two hours. I am going to wait and see if it gets bad.

If it's an infection you need antibiotics. If it's just a sinus headache and some congestion, you can take regular plain old sudafed.

The Dr., unfortunately...
If you make an appointment, then you shouldn't have to wait 2 hours- I waited 2 hours at the walk in, and it turned out to be no infection, thank God.
There's abad cold going around- mine started with sinus pain- take care of yourself!

I've been sick as a dog since saturday. I finally went to the doctor yesterday and they gave me a script for Nasacort...my OB ok'd it. Other than that i've been taking Tylenol Cold...which hasn't done crap.
