How To Cure Sinus Problem?
HI, My ENT has had me on three rounds of different antibiotics because I have been complaining of sinus problems that will not go away. We finally found through a culture that it should It was haemophilus. Now I am done with the last antibiotic, amoxicilin clavulanate but I still have this bacteria and feel horrible. What should my next step be?
