I went to the Dr. On Monday after feeling bad all last week with what I contributed to allergies turning into a sinus infection. I was put on an antibiotic and now 3 days later I feel worse everyday not better. The Pain in my head/jaws and ears are so severe I just want to cry. I am experiencing an extreme amount of nausea as well as vommiting. Out of one nostril I have been blowing out blood the last 2 days. I cant eat I cant sleep and noting is helping the pain or the symptoms they seem to get worse and worse with each passing day.

hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
Sinusitis can be treated with medicines like antibiotics, decongestant, antihistamines and anti inflammatory drugs for which you may consult ENT specialist who will know about the drugs and can prescribe you.
if sinusitis does not reduce with conservative medicines ,and if sinusitis is recurring very frequently, may be 3 episodes in 6 months then we advise for surgery.
And if the sinusitis is associated with nasal polyp, nasal mass, fungal sinusitis then also surgery is a must. Surgery for sinusitis is a endoscopic surgery.
In this surgery mainly we clear the sinuses and provide good ventilation for the sinuses.
It's a day care procedure, patient can go home the same day. Once the surgery is done,, there are very less chances for sinusitis to recur.
In my opinion if this is your first episode of sinusitis then you can wait and watch. If you are a chronic patient of sinusitis then I suggest you choose surgery.
Hope this information will be helpful.
Regards
