Justin,

The Cefdinir is a cephalosporin drug similar to penicillin and keflex amongst others. If you are taking antacids ... make sure to take them 2 hours before or 2 hours after the Cefdinir or the antibiotic will become less affective. Since you are seeing the ENT Dr tomorrow maybe it would be wise to not take the Cefdinir until you see him as the meds may temporarily subside some symptoms making it difficult to diagnose the problem.

Try using a saline nose spray a few times a day to try and clear some of the congestion and reduce nasal passage inflammation. Try not to use anything other than saline as it's not necessary to put any chemicals up your nose.

I am picking it up today. The lymph nods seem swollen from the side all the way down to the top of my shoulder. The left side does not seem to be swollen but the infection was on the right side. I'm honestly not sure what it is, one day it feels fine one day is doesn't. I'm going to try a sinus rinse and see i that helps. The doctor did say i had draining but i don't think the lymph nodes should hurt like that which i could be wrong.
