It depends: There is no magic amswer tohow long medications take towork, as everyone is unique and people mteabolize medications differently. Your sinus condition could be "chronic" in nature and that would require a longer course opf antibiotics. Generally speaking though, Levaquin (levofloxacin) and steroids are 2 good medications for treating sinus infections. If you do not imporve within 1 week, see your dr.

Ask your physician: Prednisone will help decrease the inflammation in your sinuses, but Levaquin (levofloxacin) might not the the best drug for your situation.

Not for sinuses: Prednisone does not help with sinus problems. Levaquin (levofloxacin) 500 was too small a dose to begin with unless you have kidney problems. Antibiotics have a marginal benefit in chronic sinusitis.
