Pregnancy and Sinus Infection

Modern Mom has an interesting story about a woman acting as surrogate for a set of triplets and her experiences carrying them to term. One of the complications she had was a sinus infection that resulted in brief hospital stay. The infection had been bothering her intermittently for some months and then returned worse than ever.This should be a reminder that as wonderful an experience as bringing a new life into the world is, it's also a serious health concern for women. There are many physical and hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy and this can put a lot of strain on the body. Every experience is different, some have few problems and come are faced with many complications. A sinus infection may seem common enough normally but, as illustrated in this case, when coupled with pregnancy can be a very serious matter. Treatments for sinus infections should also be carefully considered during pregnancy. If you're pregnant and suffering from a sinus infection or have a history of chronic sinusitis be wary of it and talk to your doctor about how to treat it best for yourself and the baby. Contact our office if you have any questions or concerns about pregnancy and sinus infection.
