A member asked:
How long can my sinuses be inflamed when having a sinus infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Difficult to say: How long but usually can last even after treatment of the infection and even after the infection is gone. The symptomatic treatment with antihistamine and nasal steroid may take longer than antibiotics.
