Brief Answer:
SInusitis may turn chronic and take longer to resolve.

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

i read your question and i understand your concern. Sinusitis and ear infection may take longer than 2 weeks even for resolution of symptoms. Complete the antibiotics and take prednisone as prescribed and wait for it. Meanwhile try home remedies like plenty of fluids intake, rest for a while, keep the air humid and moist, use humidifier, apply warm compresses over sinuses , rinse nasal cavity regularly and frequently, sleep with your head elevated. Use warm comforting beverages. Sinupret and SinuGuard, contain a mixture of cowslip, gentian root, elderflower, verbena and sorrel and can also be tried at home.

I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.

Brief Answer:
Yes radiesse injection causes it

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back to me
With recent use of radiesse injection, these recent sinusitis symptoms delayed healing is pretty explainable rather it may be the likely cause of these sinuses infections. Nutshell the pressure feelings, infections of sinuses all are explainable due to this.

I hope it helps.

Brief Answer:
A week or two. May take longer

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back to me

Radiesse infections causes sinusitis and pressure feeling is a symptom of sinusitis. With medications you are using it will relieve in a week or two . Its just taking longer than usual for the healing and that is due to radiesse injections. No worries.

I hope it helps.
