Suggest Treatment For Sinus Infection

I believe that I have a sinus infection. I have a few pills from January last year when I had similar symptoms. They are amox-clav 875-125. I have five of these. Is it ok to take them? I originally was given 14 of these. I did take nine of them at that time.

Hello,

Sinus infection is usually treated with a course of antibiotics and decongestant medications. Along with it you need to take some supportive measures as well to get a quicker relief from the symptoms.

Kindly take antibiotic course of Amox-Clav twice a day for 5 days. Along with it, you need to take decongestant medication containing Chlorpheniramine Maleate with Phenylephrine.

You also need to take supportive measures like steam inhalation twice daily and doing salt water gargling with warm water twice daily.

Kindly do not consume any cold items like cool drinks and ice creams till the symptoms are relieved completely.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ashakiran S
