Hey guys, I just recently moved, and I don't have a "regular" doctor yet, nor do I really know what I'm looking for. Right now I have some sinus pressure, and I feel a little bit sick to my stomach. I had just the sinus pressure yesterday, and I was really hot all night and wasn't sweating, so I'm assuming fever.
So I want to go to a doctor to see if I need a prescription, but I really don't know how to go about it. I don't get sick very often, and I think I've had to go to the doctor like once because of it when I was little and had a pediatrician.
I can't find the right terms to use in google, so I'm asking here. If it helps I live in Chesterfield, Mo. Which is close to saint louis.

Might be busy, it being a Saturday. Plan your time accordingly.
But yeah, what strakha_7 and runn1ngman said.
Yeah, as someone who suffers from very frequent sinus congestion (allergies), I may as well be eating M&Ms for all the good the Sudafed PE seems to do.
Do be careful though of the regular Sudafed's stimulant effects if you have high blood pressure issues, or so my doctor's advised me anyway.
You might try chlorpheniramine, it's a good decongestant that works well for me when I feel a sinus infection coming on. Ask the pharmacist for some. Other than that, I agree; there's no reason to see a doctor when your symptoms sound so mild. They'll just tell you to get some rest and hand you a prescription for Motrin.
