I'm Due For a Sinus Infection...

Once a year, for the past I don't know how many years, I get a cold that develops into a sinus infection. I think this might be the one. On Oct. 26 I got some kind of chest infection which developed into pneumonia. I got better with antibiotics, but the cough hung on while my body continued to try to clear all the mucus out of my lungs. The cough was getting better, but I think the sickness weakened me, because now I've caught a head cold. It includes an extremely annoying tickle in my throat that's now developed into an unrelenting cough. The coughing is exhausting. But I can't sleep. Too much coughing. I can feel my sinuses filling up. The face pain is coming, I just know it. I think I'm in for another doctor visit....

Just keep on top of it...that is what I am learning. Don't be "the mom" who settles because she has other things to do besides take care of her health.

So far, no sinus infection, but I went to the Dr. today and got an inhaler and some powerful, knock-you-off-your-feet cough medicine. The cough is better today, but it's always worse at night....
