A member asked:

Can my rheumatologist prescribe something for my sinus infection? that would be convenient.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes that is possible: It depends on the comfort level of the particular doctor. Often specialists will prefer to stick to problems within their area of expertise. But, any physician (md or do) is qualified to prescribe antibiotics.
