I've been sick for what seems about a month & a half. I've had some sinus pressure, hacking cough, sore throat, and the ocassional dizzy spell. The doctor prescribed me a z-pack. It took most of my symptoms away except for the cough. After a finishing the meds, all of the symptoms came back, and hit me hard once again. So I called in and had him call me in some more meds, this time cipro. I took that, and felt better for about 4 days, and now it's all back again. I don't have health insurance right now, so the less I have to go to the doctor the better. The way I'm feeling right now isn't a "I need to stay in bed all day" feeling. But I have this chronic sore throat, cough, sinus thing, and nothing over the counter helps. And being a singer, this is really frustrating. A side note, I had a bad reaction to mold at one point a few years ago, and I just found some mold living in a brita picture I'm using. I know it's gross, but could this have anything to do with it? Thanks!!

If you've had a problem with mold before, you could have one again. But as far as the cold goes, you're not alone! Just make sure you drink plenty of fluids and rest. Try drinking one or two of those emergen-C packs. There in the vitamin aisle. They've helped me. Good luck!

Cough takes longer to get over.
I used to have regular bouts with bronchitis. The last time it got so bad the doctor put me on steroids to cure the inflamation in my lungs. I then visited an Internal Medicine doctor who sent me to an allergist - found I was allergic to dust and few other things.
Since I've been taking my allergy shots, I no longer get bronchitis, going on two years now.
So your allergy to mold may be a root cause of your chronic cold/sinusitis. You need to see an allergist as soon as you can.
