A member asked:
If u truly have a sinus/bacterial infection & start antibiotic, how soon after taking should congestion go away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable.: Treats the infection right away, but resolution of inflammation depends upon the severity of things to start with. May not see things clear up right away.
