Amoxicillin = choice: Amoxicillin is a derivative of Ampicillin and is still the drug of choice to treat simple infections such as sinus or ear infections. It has been around for a long time and very safe to use--even safe during pregnancy. I would not be concerned using this for your sinus trouble, especially it is a short-term med, often just for 10 days. Consult your doc. Good luck.

Safe and Effective: If you have chosen to prescribe antibiotics for acute sinusuitis, you suspect a bacterial infection, it will be nice to know the organism and the sensitivities, but it is not always possible. So you have to chose an antibiotic which will be effective to do the job my choice will be Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) as long as the liver enzymes are not elevated 2to3 folds.It is safe to use even with fatty liver for short cou.
