Sinusitis: Management may include decongestants, nasal irrigation with neti-pot, nasal steroids, and medication to thin out secretions. This may help alleviate these symptoms. Duration can be quite variable depending on the cause of the sinus inflammation and the prior state of the sinuses. Good luck.

Sinusitis: Quite variable according to the organism, the treatment, the immune status of the patient and other factors. Be patient and if not better within 2 weeks go back and be seen again by the doctor who prescribed azithro.
