A member asked:
Finished my 10 day antibiotics for sinus infection, but still feel some sinus pressure. i can breath better just it feels its still there, should i seek medical help or let it get better on its own?

Not necessary: Should get better on own. I would use nasal spray to help the passages open some more so can continue drainage. You may need to use nasal spray even after infection to decrease risk of recurrence.

Seek treatment: Sinus infections can be difficult to treat and sometimes require 14-21 day courses of antibiotics.
