A member asked:
Can amoxcillin start working within 2 days of 10 day use at 875mg per tablet twice a day for a sinus infection?

Yes.: Yes, it is possible to see improvement that early. (Of course it could also be viral and getting better on its own.) Regardless, once a course of antibiotics is started, make sure to finish the whole 10 days even if you feel better sooner. Also consider adding probiotics to balance out the good flora in your gut after the antibiotics, look for probiotics that contain Saccharomyces boulardi

Sinusitis: Yes, you can begin to experience improvement but its important that you finish the prescribed course of treatment.
