I went to the doc today, have fluid on my ears, broncotis and a sinus infection. The doc gave me a steroid shot and scripts for (along with a my inhaler) a zpack, steroid pack and cough medicine. I m feeling worse now than I did this morning. My hips hurt badly as well. Is this normal?
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, The steroids will help during bronchitis, because it reduces the inflammation and edema caused by the infection. Whenever the edema comes down the symptoms will improve and patients will feel comfort. Along with the steroids you have to take antibiotics as you are having infection of the sinus too. For my patients I would have suggested 1. Steam inhalation with Vapocaps2. Oral Antibiotics3. Oral Antihistamines4. Oral steroids, Thank you.
