A member asked:

I have had a bacterial sinus infection for 13 weeks, primary dr has put me on azithromycin, augmentin, (amoxicillin and clavulanate) and omnicef. my infection seems worse?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sinusitis: It seems like your sinusitis is not responding to antibiotics. Might need ct scan of sinus and possibly need to see an ENT specialist.
