Is It a Cold or Sinus Infection?

Is It a Cold or Sinus Infection?

Cold Season Starts Now!

Every fall we see colds become more common as school starts and the weather changes. Sinus pain and pressure, nasal drainage, sore throats and cough can make having a cold miserable.


For help with your sinus problems, callĀ 307-335-7555.


These symptoms and the viruses that cause them will clear in most patients in 7-10 days. Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen, along with increasing fluid intake and nasal saline rinses with a neti pot or Neil Med nasal irrigation kit can help.

If cold symptoms last more than 10 days or if the symptoms improve then worsen again, there is a good chance that the illness has transitioned from a cold to a sinus infection and the patient should seek medical treatment.”
