Has anyone had vertigo/sinus/sore throat? ive been sick 13 days now, so tired of it. Went to dr gave me antibiotics, helped vertigo, still no energy, now diarhea!

Did the doctor diagnose you with anything? It sounds like a sinus infection. If that's the case, then give the antibiotics a couple more days to work. Your sinuses will clear up, and if the sore throat is from post-nasal drip - that'll be on the mend as well.

The diarrhea might be from the antibiotics. Those things aren't kind to your digestive health.

yes, he said sinus inf.
I just feel like crying, having chronic pain and feeling sick for 2 wks. Maybe I have winter depression?

Steam will help the sinus pressure. Also if you have pain from the sinus infection...take some advil or tylenol. Drink plenty of water.
Eat applesauce ...rice and banananas for the diareah...that is from the antibiotics...
Gatorade would be good along with some herbal teas...and inhale the steam from the cup.
many hugs
and hope you get well soon

Try a netti pot,very soothing on your sinuses.
good luck

I have to agree with Deb about the nettie pot, Dr OZ, a regular on the Oprah show, showed this device several months ago and I got one. It is wonderful for colds,sinus, and allergies for relief! You can buy them at the drug store, but since the showing on Oprah they can barely keep them stocked now.

the diarhhea is probably from the antibiotics. Sinus infections are really hard to get rid of (I know, I have one). Hang in there and keep us posted.

I had Vertigo in the summer it was very scary. Im sorry you have it now. Nothing seemed to help me I just had to wait it out 3 weeks. I hope I never get it again. I hope you feel better soon.

I think it's kind of viral thing going around,lots of people at work have had it, and people in my family. I had just ended a bad flair up of sciatica when it hit me, guess my resistance was down, now going into my second week uuugh... yeah, I know what you mean about crying. Get all the rest you can, and take some vitamin C.
