Old Aged, Diagnosed With Sphenoid Sinusitis. Antibiotics Not Working. Will Levaquin Help?
PLEASE HELP ME.. I HAVE NO MONEY TO PAY FOR MY QUESTION AND IM AFRAID I MAY LOSE my mother. She has been diagnosed with sphenoid sinusitis. she is 74 years old and says she does not want to have the surgery. she has been on antibiotic after antibiotic and its not going away. she went to an ENT specialist and he said there is no such thing as sinuses in the back of your head. that what she had was just old age, or arthritis. I heard of an antibiotic called Levaquin which worked for my cousin with a similar condition. Do you think the Levaquin could help her?
