What Causes Foul Odor In The Sinus Area During Pregnancy?
Hello dear and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. The symptoms seem to be related to a sinus infection. I suggest to do a sinus culture test to confirm the diagnosis. If the diagnosis is confirmed, the treatment consists in antibiotics. The most common antibiotic suggested in pregnancy is Amoxicillin. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Kind regards! Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi General &Family Physician
