Sinus and Congestion Treatment

$39

Professional care for sinus and congestion, no office visit required.

When sinus pressure turns into a persistent headache or painful facial tension, you need more than over-the-counter steam. Our providers review your history and symptoms to determine if a prescription is necessary to get you back to your day.

Common symptoms we treat (but not limited to)

Sudden vision changes

Swelling or redness around the eyes

History of 4 or more episodes of bacterial sinusitis within a 12-month period that were diagnosed by a physician

How the Consultation Works

Select your symptoms: Choose from our six care categories, including Sinuses, Cold & Flu, and STIs.

Quick check-in: Create your account, upload a valid ID (required for your safety), and complete a $39 consultation payment.

Share the details: Fill out a brief intake form about your health history and current symptoms.

Provider Review: A licensed clinician will review your case and message you through our secure platform within 4 business hours.

Treatment Plan: If treatment is appropriate, we will send a prescription directly to the local pharmacy of your choice.

Pharmacy Pick Up: Your pharmacy will notify you when your order is ready for pick up.

When to Seek In-Person Care

To ensure your safety, certain symptoms require a physical examination or imaging. Please seek in-person care if you experience:

Severe, localized headache that doesn't respond to OTC meds

Swelling, redness, or bruising around the eyes

High fever (over 102°F)

Confusion

Your Treatment Plan

If your provider confirms a bacterial infection or severe inflammation, they will send a prescription for an appropriate treatment to your pharmacy. You will receive a notification via your secure Zalud dashboard as soon as the provider has reviewed your case and made a decision.

Please contact your chosen pharmacy directly to confirm when your medication is ready for pickup.

Before you start, have these ready:

Your ID: A clear photo of your Driver’s License or Passport.

Your Pharmacy: Know the address of the pharmacy where you want to pick up your medication.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can a doctor diagnose a sinus infection without seeing me in person?

Our providers use a detailed medical intake form designed to capture the specific nature of your symptoms, your medical history, and any "red flag" indicators. By analyzing the location of your facial pain, the duration of your congestion, and your history of "double worsening," our clinical team can safely determine if you are a candidate for asynchronous treatment or if in-person care is necessary for your safety.

What kind of medications do you prescribe?

Depending on your symptoms and history, your provider may prescribe antibiotics, medicated nasal sprays, or suggest specific over-the-counter treatments to manage pressure and inflammation.

How long does service take?

You will receive a response from a provider within 4 hours, though it is often much faster.

How do I choose my pharmacy?

During the intake process, you will be able to search for and select any pharmacy that is convenient for you. We can send prescriptions to all major chains and local independent pharmacies.

What if the doctor decides they can't treat me online?

Your safety is our priority. If your provider determines that your symptoms require a physical exam or imaging, they will let you know via the dashboard and provide guidance on seeking in-person care. In these cases, you will not be charged the consultation fee.

Can I use this service for my child?

Currently, Zalud is only available for adults aged 18 and older. Because sinus symptoms in children can often be linked to other pediatric conditions requiring a physical exam, we recommend seeing a pediatrician for anyone under 18.

Will this cover the cost of my medication?

The $39 fee covers your medical evaluation and the creation of your treatment plan by a Zalud provider. It does not include the cost of the medication at the pharmacy. If you have insurance, you can use it at your local pharmacy to pay for the prescription.
