Media Advisory: 8 Signs You Have a Sinus Infection
Sunrise, FL (PRWEB) March 10, 2016 -- WHO: Dr. Ford Brewer, chief medical officer at MDLIVE, the nation’s largest telehealth network of doctors, pediatricians and therapists.
According to Dr. Brewer, an individual with a cold that is just not getting better or is worse after 5-7 days may have acute sinusitis (inflammation of the sinuses). This occurs when there is bacterial growth in the sinuses as a result of an infection from a virus, bacteria, or fungus. Dr. Brewer recommends keeping a watchful eye out for the 8 most common sinusitis symptoms:
1. Bad breath or loss of smell
2. Cough, often worse at night
3. Fatigue and general feeling of being unwell
4. Fever
5. Headache
6. Pressure-like pain, pain behind the eyes, toothache, or facial tenderness
7. Nasal stuffiness and discharge
8. Sore throat and postnasal drip
WHERE: Individuals that think they may have a sinus infection, should contact their doctor. For those that can’t wait days for an appointment or don’t want to struggle in to their doctor’s office, MDLIVE provides a consult with a Board Certified doctor via secure online video, MDLIVE App or interactive audio. Typical wait time is less than 15 minutes.
WHEN: Consults are available 24/7/365 and currently MDLIVE is offering $10 off initial consults. Consumers should enter the promocode PAINFREE in the promo code section on the payment screen to get $10 off their first MDLIVE phone or video consult before 3/18/16*.
