Hi, thans for writing in to us at health care magic.
Sinus infections are usually bacterial infections and need treatment. It is recommended that you consult your physician for the following medications: 1. Tablet Amoxycillin and potassium clavulanate 625 mg twice a day for 5 days. 2. Antiinflammatory medications like combination of paracetamol 325mg and ibuprofen 400mg twice daily for 3 days. 3. Tablet cetrizine 10mg at night for 3 days.
