Sinus infection or maybe not..?!


Question:

Sinus infection or maybe not..?

I thought I had a sinus infection about a month ago. I went to the doctor and he gave me antibiotics. I used those for 10 days and I don't think they helped. what could be wrong?

Also, when my head hurts it still goes off and on. and it is not quite as bad anymore.


Answers:

From my experience, sinus infections are hard to cure and many times take a second round of antibiotics. Some doctors will also use steroids to decrease the swelling and inflammation of the lining of the sinus. So if u took all of the antibiotics and are still having problems, call the doctor's office. They may just call in some more meds for u (saving an office visit) or may want to see you again (the more likely scenario).
