How Can Sinusitis Be Treated?
is there a better antibiotic than what I was prescribed for a sinus infection? I was prescribed Cefdinir by the minor emergency physician. I ve been on it for 5 days, with absolutely no improvement whatsoever yet. this is getting quite tiresome, to say the least.

Hello welcome to the health care magic
Apart from cephalosporin group, amoxicillin like drug and azithromycin like antibiotic drug available
You can take decongestant like phenylephrine for congestion relief
Steam inhalation done three times a day
Azelestin like nasal spray also beneficial
Take one tsp turmeric powder with milk daily
Investigate with CBC and PNS x ray for further work up
Hope this will help you
Consult otorhinolaryngologist for examination
