Can Amoxicillin Be Taken For Sinus Pressure And Mild Pain?

default
Posted on Fri, 2 Jan 2015
Question: I have sinus pressure that recurs about this time of year. I have access to Amoxicillin 500mg which I have used successfully in the past. I have tried two decongistants with some relief. The pain is mild to moderate, does not react to hot/cold, but does increase with eating pressure on upper left side of mouth/jaw. Should I self medicate with the Amoxicillin?

Hi,
Thanks for the query.

When a patient with similar conditions meets me at my clinic, I advice
Steam Inhalation twice daily,
Saline nasal spray thrice daily ,
Paracetamol for pain &
