A member asked:

Finished antibiotics 1 wk ago for uri/sinus. no longer feel stuffy, etc. but still experiencing good amt of clear /sticky nasal discharge. normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Common finding: You seldom get a sinus infection as a primary event.It will often follow allergic drainage, irritant reaction to things like smoke or a cold. The length of abx treatment is based on eliminating the germ, but it may not alter the events, allergies, etc. That set you up for the infection. Monitor the situation for now & have rechecked if sx return.
