Okay... how do you get rid of a sinus infection🤧 when your immunocompromised? I'm on my... I think 3rd round of antibiotics, plus I got an injection of antibiotics in-between the last two. I was also on steroids.. did a pack and then an injection and then 3 more days. I am doing a Flonase type rx nasal spray daily, and saline spray... I just got a nasal rinse thing, did my first one last night. I do NOT like at all 😶 but will continue to use as my ENT suggested it in his notes (I just read the attachments on his notes on the portal, wish I had found those sooner, I'd have been doing this longer.... though I don't like doing it). Plus I'm taking Mucinex and such to help the stuff move and to help with the coughing at night so I can actually get some sleep, as suggested by my doctor....
I just... don't know if there is anything else I can do to get rid of this. Is there? Do I need to just be resting all the time? I was there for a while, especially when it got worse this last weekend. I have only had a fever once with it so far, and that was this last Thursday, and it was just 99.1. I actually have had the opposite problem, and have been running a temp around 96.6 or 97.5. Don't really know what to think about that, other than I'm really cold!!🥶
And ladies, you know what happens when you are on a ton of antibiotics for too long, right😕? Yep. Now I'm fighting two infections. Don't worry, my doc called in pills for that and I got the otc stuff for it as well. Fighting it as hard as I can.
I just really want to be feeling better. I'm so exhausted. Any and all suggestions welcome. I know my immune system is really low from the Kesimpta. I saw the numbers from my lab test just this month. Wow😦. And my Kesimpta is due this upcoming week, but neuro says to delay it till the sinus and other infection are gone. I did get up and go to PT on Thursday.. I actually walked (very slowly) on the treadmill!! - and then came home and was running a fever later that night. Perhaps that was too much. BUT, I didn't want to pay the no-show fee, 😅😂
On top of that my left hand has been tingling. The one that went numb during my initial flare... is that just the infection making things worse?
I welcome any and all suggestions and ideas on how to get feeling better from this. And Thank you for reading my very long post, if you read this far!🧡🧡🧡😊
