A member asked:
I had a sinus infection and went on antibiotics. i've been symptom free for a week and now have some white/green snot. is my infection back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't think so.: Sinus infection should produce pain, fever, redness, pus and potentially swelling in the affected area. It is unlikely that snot without other symptoms requires antibiotics.
