Suggest Suitable Treatment For A Sinus Infection

I was told I have a sinus infection and have been put on antibiotics, after taking them for about a week new symptoms popped up, like sensitivity of my eyes and 3 knots have popped up on my neck 2 on the left side. One on the right. One of the knots is about the size of a quarter? What could it be?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The 'knots' or 'lumps' may be lymph nodes. These are areas that respond to infection in a particular region.

The lymph nodes in the neck would respond to infection in head and neck region eg sinusitis.

The eye sensitivity is also part of the infection that you are experiencing.

I hope this helps
