Donald Trump's spamming of Republican donors could kneecap party efforts to build a steady funding stream for future elections and compete with Democratic fundraising, top GOP officials are privately warning. Why it matters: The former president's decision to bombard donors with numerous daily emails and texts is sucking up record sums. Four top GOP digital strategists tell Axios it's also imperiling efforts to build a sustainable, grassroots base of financial support for anyone not named Trump. The big picture: Trump is raking in donations. His political vehicles, led by the group Save America, raised more than $51 million during the second half of 2021. They also ended the year with more than $122 million in the bank, according to FEC reports. Trump's small-dollar fundraising operation is the vanguard, driven by ceaseless emails and text messages hitting up his supporters for cash. One veteran Republican digital strategist told Axios the effect, compared wi...

Depending on the cause, doctors may prescribe antibiotics for sinus infection, also called sinusitis. When an individual has a sinus infection, fluids accumulate in the air-filled cavities in the face. Typically, these sinuses have a thin lining of mucus that collects dust, germs, and other particles from the air. Tiny hair-like projections, called cilia, sweep the mucus and any particles trapped down the back of the throat into the stomach. However, in sinusitis, the mucus does not flow freely, and germs can multiply. Sinusitis, also called rhinosinusitis, is one of the most common reasons people visit doctors in the United States. Almost 15% of the population experiences sinus infections each year, and it is one of the top conditions that doctors prescribe antibiotics for. This article looks at antibiotics for a sinus infection, their benefits, and alternative treatment methods, including some natural remedies. An individual does not always need antibiotics for a sinus infection. M...

Remember that childhood bout of chickenpox that caused itching, burning, and a painful rash all over your body? If you're experiencing similar symptoms as an adult, you may be dealing with shingles. Herpes zoster, also known as shingles, is a disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus, the same virus that causes chickenpox. After you recover from chickenpox as a child or teen, the virus lies dormant in your nerve cells. For many people, it never makes a repeat appearance. But for about 1 in 3 adults in the United States, the virus reactivates and causes shingles, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) . While most cases are in people over 50, shingles can occur before age 40, but the American Academy of Dermatology Association (AAD) says this is rare. Shingles rashes typically last between 2 and 4 weeks. And while it's not life threatening, the virus can trigger a painful rash that causes a lot of discomfort. The good news, though, is that you can d...

An upper respiratory infection (URI) affects the nasal passages and throat. The treatment is usually simple unless a person also has a chronic respiratory condition, such as asthma. A URI occurs when a virus or bacteria enter the body, usually through the mouth or nose. The infection may pass to another person through touch or a sneeze or cough. Adults tend to get between two and three URIs per year. Children, especially young children, may have more of these infections, because their immune systems are still developing. Also, children who spend lots of time around other kids may be more prone to these infections, because children are less likely than adults to wash their hands after sneezing or wipe their noses when they need to. Enclosed spaces where people gather, such as classrooms, offices, and homes, can be high risk areas for the spread of URIs. Typically, a URI lasts 7–10 days, and sometimes, up to 3 weeks. In some cases, these infections develop into more serious issues, suc...
