If you're already experiencing flu symptoms, you shouldn't get the vaccine. Once you're fully recovered, you can get the vaccine--it could still protect you from other strains of the flu this season. Malcolm Thaler, MD Clinical Editor One Medical Group Hey there,

There’s no downside to getting the flu vaccine ahead of time since you don’t know when you’re going to get the flu. If you’re already experiencing flu symptoms, you shouldn’t get the vaccine. Once you’re fully recovered, you can get the vaccine–it could still protect you from other strains of the flu this season.

Be sure to see a DR since sinus infections can become very serious.In the mean time, take an antihistamine like Clariton. Try Mucinex, it melts the mucus and really relieves the pain well. Try adding in Sudafed, the real Sudafed, the one you can only get behind the counter (you'll need your ID).Try taking a hot steamy shower, using a vaporizer, or leaning over some steaming water (careful!).And don't forget the Tylenol.
