Can i ask my rheumatologist for a prescription of antibiotics for a sinus infection?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Sure: You can always ask. If your rheumatologist is comfortable treating you then they will tell you. If not then he/she will tell you and advise you who to contact (most likely your primary care physician).

Yes: Yes. You can ask. They have the ability to prescribe antibiotics. They may defer to the general practitioner or the ENT or allergist who treats the condition more often.
