    How do you tell a sinus cold from a real cold? Also,will I be better on Monday with the zpack in me for 2 days?

    z-pack for a sinus cold? No wonder antibiotics are starting to become ineffective. Antibiotics should not be prescribed unless the cold has lasted over 14 days, and/or the fever is above 102. Otherwise you're looking at a virus that has to run it's course.

    Sage tea, Emergen-C with zinc, elderberry, and even better elderberry +zinc, lots of fluids, chicken soup. If you started the Z-pack you have to finish it, but I'm amazed a physician now a days would hand it out for a cold.

    Sinus colds are more in your head. Your face hurts when you have one!
