Aching cheeks can also be referred pain from sinus congestion.

The guaifenesin is the best for this. Coricidin is just chlorTrimaton which is a good antihistamine, but very drying and it can make
sinus issues last longer.

Coricidin makes several formulas, this is the one for your pressure:

It is the guaifenesin that takes the pressure off the sinuses. Drinking more water helps too.

The Lasix can dehydrate you and make mucus harder to move out.

There is also a nasty form of Strep going around in our state. It is far worse and hitting more people than any flu.

If you have a sore throat longer than 48hrs, get to a doctor for a Strep test. My son is in good health and had this bug and had to go on two different antibiotics for it. He was quite sick with it. This variant tends to recur also, meaning comes back!
