Hi Mary Jo,
Been there, done that!

In addition to what everybody else suggested, keep in mind that you can have a bacterial sinus infection on top of a viral or mold issue. The antibiotics will clear up the bacterial infection, but not the other two. An allergic reaction to mold could make things worse. The "brainfog" can be an allergy symptom as well as a sinus infection thing. It might help if you started taking probiotics. They help keeping the good bacteria in your system, that otherwise could be killed by the antibiotic. Good bacteria keep molds & yeasts in check. It's a delicate balance.

I'm no doctor, but to me it sounds like all your symptoms could be complained by a sinus infection and perhaps a (temporary) allergic reaction.

Hang in there and let us know how it goes.

Hugs

Jacqueline
