Hi Aly,
I totally feel your pain, because I get sinus infections at least 3 times a year. Before I had IBS I used to take prescription antibiotics to help, but I'm scared to use them now because of the stomach effects. Anyway, back in college when I got my first sinus infection, the health center gave me z-pack (which was kind of their catch-all drug at the time). It didn't really work at all, and it took trying 2 more different, more potent antibiotics, before it went away. Anyway, now when I get the infection, I tend to drink a ton of tea, bump up my vitamin C intake, use zinc to help with the symptoms, and try to get enough rest. So that's my two cents -- I hope it helps! And I also emphathize with the fact that you are having mutiple health problems at once. As my mother would say, "When it rains, it pours." Feel better.
