Omega-3 Improves Your Pet Health

I was at work tonight, and suddenly my throat started hurting as if I was in the beginning stages of strep throat, but the pain was only on the left side of my nose and the left side of my throat. Also, the pain started at the snap of a finger. So I drank some water and nothing changed. After alot of coughing and sneezing, I spit out some of the mucus I had coughed up and it had small amounts of blood in it. About 5 days ago I visited the hospital in regards to severe migraine headaches located behind my right eye, that’s when a cat scan was done and they told me I had a nasal cyst in my left nasal area (they didn’t specify a specific location just said the left side) and to follow up with my primary care doctor (which I don’t have). At the time of the hospital visit and for months prior, I had no throat pain or nasal problems, not even a runny nose as far as I can remember, just migraine headaches on occasion which they were treating with percocet. Well tonight after the sudden pain at work, I went back to the hospital thinking maybe the cyst had burst or something, and the doctor tells me I have a sinus infection and prescribes me AZITHROMYCIN 250mg and OXYCODONE 5/325mg, and gives me some literature on SINUSITIS and PHARYNGITIS.
My question’s are:
Is it common for a sinus infections to show its symptoms out of nowhere like that?
If it was in fact a sinus infection, can it stay primarily on a certain side of the nose/throat
Could it have anything to do with the cyst?
What is a good remedy to soothe the infection on top of the prescriptions?
Thank you

Hi,
My 9 month old Doberman who until two weeks ago has been totally healthy, he developed a swollen lymph node under the left side of his neck. I took him the day I noticed the swelling to the local canine emergency hospital and was told that he had a high fever and that the swelling was likely due to an infection. The doctor prescribed Cephalexin 500mgs 1.5 tablets every 12hrs ( used to treat bacteria ). After 4 days the medication had no effect, the swelling had worsen and at this point the right lymph node has mildly swollen. I then took him to my local veterinarian who has been a doctor for over 30years. He conducted various tests; temperature, lymph node cell sample (taken by empty needle, observed under a microscope), blood work, urine test. Once the tests were complete he then prescribed for Giovanni (my dog) Prednisone 50mg (used to reduce swelling) and Amoxi-Clav 375mg ( used to treat bacteria). The next day I received a call from the doctor saying he reviewed all the samples and that Giovanni and an infection likely due to eating sticks, I was instructed to continue with the medications and have a follow up with him in a week. Three days later the dog was practically back to normal, the swelling had decreased dramatically and was only present in the left lymph node. When I returned for the check up appointment this is what the vet had to say: A)The swelling in down dramatically. B) His fever is gone. C) He appears totally healthy. Then he noticed that a lymph node on the back of his left leg had mildly swollen, this started to worry me into thinking it was lymphoma. The doctor told me that it is very likely to be lymphoma and that I would need to start chemotherapy if it is. I was told that the Prednisone might be masking the cancer by reducing the swelling while the cells are still rapidly multiplying. The vet instructed me to stop giving him the Prednisone and once again prescribed Amoxi-Clav. It has now been over 5 days, I’m starting to get really worried about my best friend, the worse thing in life is watching the one thing you love and the one thing that loves you the most suffer right in front of your eyes. The lymph nodes under his neck are now swollen to the point where there prohibiting him to bark or breath properly. Every doctor he has seen has something different to say and something different to prescribe, I just want an answer as to what is wrong with him. A biopsy will be done on Giovanni hopefully within the next few days to finally determine the truth.
The reason why created this post is to gain some insight and hear advice from anyone who has experienced this before, my vet is away on vacation for another 2 days until then I have to watch my dog suffer with no explanation has to what he has.
If anyone has experienced this same matter could you please let know what to expect for the future… Keep in mind I already know that without a biopsy there is no certainty has to what my dog has.
Thanks in advance!!!
