Suggest Remedy For Sinus Infection

Hi, I was diagnosed with a sinus infection by my doctor 5 days ago and have been taking the antibiotic Augmentin. It's been almost 6 days and my symptoms have no improved at all. My left nostril emits blood with the yellowy mucus while my right nostril's emissions are clear white. I still have sinus pain and pressure behind my nose and near my eye sockets. Any idea what the problem is? Thanks

Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concern. You hav sinusitis and as you described painful areas it seems to be of frontal area. In what doses you are taking augmentin, again are you resistant to it. Take augmentin 625 mg twice daily.If it doesnot heal then go for further investigations like X ray skull AP/Lat, Blood reports etc. For nasal bleeding you can do packing with glycerin. You should add decongestant like cetrizine and can go for saline lavage to improve drainage.
