What would happen if i took one dose of an antibiotic for a sinus infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing good: Sinus infection require at least 10 days of antibiotic to clear an infection in some patients with long standing chronic infections 14 to a month! Taking 1 pill does nothing but make it possible to develop antibiotic resistance
