<s>[INST] My 19 year old daughter away at college has had a fever on and off for 7 days and now a cold, fatigue and productive cough. She was finally able to get to the health center yesterday and started her on antibiotics for possible sinus infection. Could these symptoms be anything else and is it normal to be this sick for a week and a half now? [/INST] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, possibility of Sinus infection is more likely in your daughters case. Antibiotics are the mainstay of treatment for sinusitis. So tell her to finish the course of antibiotic. Along with antibiotic, she should also do steam inhalation and warm water gargles 5-6 times a day. Plenty of fluids orally will also be helpful. Don't worry, she will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks. </s>
