A member asked:

How soon does azithromycin start to work, currently on 3 days supply and used first dose a bit more than 12 hra ago, still feel sinus pressure.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need to finish RX: You will need to finish the full course of antibiotic. Many times the sinus pressure will continue during the RX. If not improving, or worsening, then contact your DR.
