A member asked:
What are the common antibiotics used for nose infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Often viral: Truth be told, most "nose infections" (often called sinusitis) are caused by viruses which do not respond to antibiotics at all, but instead are best treated with decongestants. The rare times when there really is a bacteria causing the infection, drugs such as Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) (amoxicillin/clavulonic acid), quinolones (such as levofloxacin), macrolides (azithromycin) and sulfa (bactrim), can all help.
