Is It Ok To Take Amoxycillin With Cefdinir For Sinus Infection ?

I'm fighting a sinus infection and I had 4 capsules of cefdinir 300mg that I took one every 12 hours. I also found some 500 mg capsules of amoxicillin. I took the last cefdinir this morning at 9:00 am. Is it okay to take the amoxicillin at 9:00 tonight and continue on that every 12 hours until I finish it off?

Hello

I would not advice yo to take the amoxicillin, rather you must continue the cefdinir. please dont switch antibiotics as in the end you may develop an infection which is resistant to both of them.
thanks
