Hello,

Sinus infections take time to recover even with best antibiotics of choice. Additional work-up will help you to recover sooner.
• Gargles with apple seed vinegar 3 times a day
• Plenty of liquids by mouth
Soft diet to allow easy mastication
• Avoid highly chilly, spicy, non-veg items, beverages
• Keep away from taking excess sugar, artificial sweeteners, green tea, coffee help with analgesic effect
• I strongly recommended to add anticold/decongestant/non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug along with antibiotic basket for fast recovery
• Inhalation with Karvol capsule vapors help a great
• Avoid going out in excess cold
• Refrain yourself from using any tobacco products/alcohol
Stress, anxiety will delay recovery
• Have good sleep of 6 hours minimum
• Use face mask whenever go out of home

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

Regards,
Dr. Purva Patel
