General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Since sinus lavage has been done already, now antibiotics usage and decongestant may be helpful to completely dry the sinus, but recovery can take two weeks. Also using anti histamines like Cetirizine or Loratidine may be helpful for symptomatic relief. Mouth washes can be used for oral hygiene and to prevent any retrograde spread of infection.

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

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
