Sinus visit by text

Day 5-7 and still getting worse?

Text Chris your sinus pattern. He will tell you if telehealth fits, if symptom support is smarter, or if you need in-person care.

Do not guess from drainage color alone. Day, direction, pressure, fever, and the better-then-worse pattern matter more.

Pick the sinus pattern

Three lanes. One quick decision.

Most people do not need a wall of medical copy. They need to know which lane they are in right now.

Day 1-4

Watch and support it.

Early congestion is often viral or allergy-related. Saline, fluids, rest, humidified air, and safe symptom support usually come first.

Day 5-7+

Text Chris if you are not turning the corner.

This is the practical pay-attention window, especially with facial pressure, thick drainage, fever pattern, or symptoms that feel different than your usual allergies.

Start visit
Better, worse

That rebound story matters.

If you started to improve, then pressure, headache, fever, or drainage came back harder, include that in the first text.

Red flags

Use in-person care.

Eye swelling, vision changes, confusion, severe headache with stiff neck, chest pain, or trouble breathing should not wait on a text visit.

Check red flags

The goal is not to force every stuffy nose into antibiotics. The goal is to get you in the right lane quickly.

Quick visual check

See which story matches yours.

Swipe the pictures. If the middle stories sound familiar, the text visit is probably worth starting.

Wrong door?

Some symptoms need hands-on care instead of a text visit.

How it works

No portal maze. Just the right details.

  1. 1

    Text the short version.

    What day you are on, whether you are improving or worse, pressure, fever, drainage, and what you tried.

  2. 2

    Chris reviews it personally.

    If the story is not clear, he asks follow-up questions instead of guessing.

  3. 3

    You get the right next step.

    Symptom support, a pharmacy plan when appropriate, or clear direction to be seen in person.

Chris Woods, Nurse Practitioner

Chris Woods, MSN, APRN, FNP-C: "I am not trying to prescribe antibiotics for every stuffy nose. I am trying to help you know when the pattern deserves a closer look."

Text Chris
Do not wait on these

Some symptoms need a different door.

If it feels scary or affects eyes, breathing, chest, neck stiffness, or mental clarity, use in-person or emergency care.

Quick answers

Enough detail to decide.

Do I automatically need antibiotics?

No. Many sinus symptoms are viral or allergy-related at first. Antibiotics make more sense when the pattern is not improving, severe, lasts past 10 days, or improves then worsens again.

Is green drainage proof it is bacterial?

No. Color is a clue, not the whole case. The timeline and direction matter more.

How fast will I hear back?

Most people hear back within a few hours, often faster. Chris reads the text and asks follow-up questions when needed.

How much is the visit?

$59 flat. No hidden fees. Prescriptions, if needed, are separate at the pharmacy.

Need the deeper guide, licensed states, or clinical references?

NPCWoods Telemedicine offers $59 text-based sinus symptom review with Chris Woods, MSN, APRN, FNP-C. A text visit makes more sense when symptoms are around day 5-7 and not improving, last more than 10 days, get better then worse again, or include a stronger bacterial-pattern story.
