Sinus: many types work. Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) is the upgrade of amoxicillin. If it's a virus then no antibiotics

Sinusitis: Your doctor will make that recommendation and provide you with the necessary prescriptions. Do not self medicate with left over or other people's antibiotics.
