Brief Answer: An ENT opinion for sinus infection needed Detailed Answer: Thanks for the query. Pseudomonas infection in the sinuses if producing any symptoms of sinusitis will require a antibiotic treatment as you already had along with some measures to keep the sinuses ventilated. These include nasal decongestants and mucolytics as well ventilated sinuses harbour less of infection. An ENT is the best person to plan this treatment for sinuses even if a medical only treatment is required. Also culture from the sinuses/meatuses will be taken by an ENT. How XXXXXXX is the sinus infection is a difficult quest to answer. It depends upon the symptoms and the CT para nasal sinus findings which will show whether the drainage pathways from the sinuses are patent. If it is patent and not producing symptoms, the continuous use of antibiotics is not really warranted. If there is blockade in the sinus drainage pathways, there need to see an ENT is all the more there and antibiotic treatment along with some intervention to drain the sinuses is required. How hard should you push will be depending upon symptoms. Still the golden word in such infections is specific antibiotics based on culture and sensitivity findings. If a culture has been done, sensitivity must have also been done and will tell you about the specific antibiotic. Feel free to ask another query. Regards
