Hi, My husband is suffering from high fever and severe cold. he is sneezing hundreds everyday. I took him to doctor and after doing blood test doctor said that its bacterial infection causing sinusitis. And Doctor gave Augmentin antibiotic. My husband started taking medicine and this is second day. But fever is not reducing at all. Its 101.5. Pls. suggest what should I do for fever to reduce. Pls.
Hello, Please ensure he is also taking Paracetamol 650 three times a day or 1g twice daily to lower the temperature. It is unusual for acute sinusitis to cause such high temperatures, so a Chest X-Ray is important to ensure there is no other cause such as pneumonia. It appears to have started with a viral infection and super-added bacterial infection is a problem. If he smokes, he must stop altogether. Viral infections per se can cause high temperatures, so if the Chest X-Ray is normal, continue the Augmenting and Paracetamol. Best Wishes.
