I've had what I believe to be a sinus infection for the past several days. My left eye has felt swollen and it hurts to move it up and down and from side to side. My head is congested and my left eye is a little "weepy". I've been taking Advil Cold & Sinus and it helps as long as I take it repeatedly.

This morning I'm having trouble seeing out of my left eye. When I cover my right eye up, and only look through the left, it looks sort of like I'm looking through wax paper. It's not as noticeable when I'm using both eyes as I guess the right one is compensating for the left.

I have a Neuro appointment on Monday afternoon so I'll take this up with him then but I'm wondering if I should take Prednisone (I have 20mg. tablets) now. I hate taking that stuff, but when it comes to my vision I don't want any permanent damage if I can help it.

Has anyone had this problem before? I don't think I should take the Pred and the Advil Cold meds together. Merry Christmas!
